Abstract

This article intends to reflect the idea of disobedience, specially within the articulation between christianism and its morality, and a juridical-penal legislation that has some effects in public security, mainly in what refers to the youth in conflict with the law. Our starting point is Foucault’s concept of device, discussing mostly the effects of an obeying production that intends to reach a parcel of the youth that is equally a drug user and has committed an infracional act associated with drug trafficking. In this matter, we focus our anaylisis in the youth that is complying educational correction measures. The ascension of both of theses aspects shapes the widening of a juridical-penal articulation that develops a type of government directed to this population, producing a policement way of thinking the practices that revolve them. In order to do so, we based our analysis in Foucault’s epistemological point of view, as well as in social psychology studies.
