Abstract
The book chapters concern the Social History of Crime, Poiice and Criminal Justice and are largely the result of research exposed and discussed at the IV National Symposium on the History of Crime, Police and Criminal Justice, held in Recife, between September 12 and 14, 2018, with the support of Capes, by the Postgraduate Program in History of the Catholic University of Pernambuco (PPGH-UNICAP). This chapter concerns Colombine and Magda Donato's critical journalism of Spain's penal system during the first third of the twentieth century.
