Morales, Juan Pablo Castillo2025-03-212025-03-210023-1207183399https://repositorio.unab.cl/handle/ria/63839INDEXACION SCOPUSDifferently from other countries, Chile lacks any kind of concept of what could be called, with a greater or lesser level of systematisation, “Criminal Labour Law”. Such a situation is particularly striking if one considers some valuable attempts at scientific theorisation and its progressive enshrinement in comparative law. However, in order to be clear about the reasons for this context, it is primary to clarify the elementary question of what is meant when we refer to Criminal Labour Law. Such is, precisely, the purpose of this brief paper: to approach an answer to the question of the meaning and scope of the expression Criminal Labour Law as a discipline, as well as an analysis of its location and status in terms of legal epistemology © 2023 Centro Estudios Derecho Penal.
