Abstract
El control social y la seguridad eran problemas reales para los funcionarios de los borbones desde la segunda mitad del siglo XVIII hasta los inicios del XIX cuando el crecimiento acelerado y las transformaciones significaron la duplicación de la ciudad de Buenos Aires. Este activo puerto recibía el comercio de esclavos y sus descendientes eran cerca del 30% de la población y eran constantemente acusados de provocar desórdenes y de ser delincuentes. Este fenómeno, que también se presentó en otras ciudades americanas, no ha sido estudiado. Buscamos, en papeles judiciales, su protagonismo, integración, signos y maneras de inducirlos a la delincuencia o de encubrirla.The journal Memoria y Sociedad is registered under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International Public License.
