DA SILVA LORENZ, Mariana  y  PUGLIESE, Ornela. ¿What's new in the Unidades de Policía de Prevención Local?. Delito soc. [online]. 2017, vol.26, n.43, pp.121-149. ISSN 0328-0101.

In the present work we intend to investigate two aspects related to the emergence of the Unidades de Policía de Prevención Local (UPPL). Firstly, some characteristics that those in charge of this security initiative consider as novel with respect to the pre-existing ones. In the second instance, we will address the differences and similarities that we can find between the UPPL  -in  particular  that of the Municipio of Avellaneda- and the traditional security forces -here we will mainly take the case of the Policía Federal Argentina  (PFA). The considerations set forth in this article are the product of a field work carried out jointly by the authors. It consisted of interviews with officials of the UPPL of the Municipio of Avellaneda, a survey, reading and analysis of the laws that regulate this institution, as well as official documents and communications of the Municipio. To make a comparison with the traditional security forces we use the findings of the research carried out for the doctoral thesis of Mariana Lorenz.
