| Title | COLATERAL DAMAGES. THE UNEXPECTED CONSEQUENCES OF POLICE MISTREATMENT ON INDIVIDUAL AUTONOMY |
| Summary | This thesis highlights the relations among two issues that are not usually linked together, as individual autonomy and police mistreatment. By showing the long-term impact of diverse manifestations of police mistreatment among two targeted groups (the Romani people of Budapest, Hungary, and the male youngsters living in slums in Cordoba, Argentina) it is possible to track the origins of practices that prevent the members of those groups from enjoying the individual autonomy that is recognized in both countries. The main idea is that extended practices of police mistreatment, however tolerated they may be, are a source of unjustifiable subduing of parts of the population, what weakens the legitimacy of all of the governmental policies and the State at large too, especially on transitional democracies that try to build their ‘raisons d’etat’ around the value of individual autonomy. |
