Reviews

El texto de Vegh Weis es una novedad que no debe pasar por alto porque se trata de una de las aventuras mas audaces que se haya emprendido en los ultimos tiempos en la arena de la criminologia y la critica juridica. A lo largo de sus paginas, Vegh Weis describe y analiza, sintetiza y arriesga, en una prosa que sabiendose fundamentada en una solida investigacion desarrollada en Argentina, en Estados Unidos y en Europa, y se desliza al terreno de nuevas teorizaciones, ese terreno siempre fangoso, logrando, empero, salir airosa. - Juan Manuel Suppa Altman (Universidad de Buenos Aires, Argentina), in: Revista de Historia del Derecho, N Degrees 53, January - June 2017, pp. 187-189
