“Orden público: Vagos, Maleantes y Peligrosidad Social” es un proyecto de Daniel Gasol que realiza contrabando de expedientes de la Ley de Vagos y Maleantes (1933-1970) y Peligrosidad Social (1970-1995) para pensar cómo la legislación convierte a las clases desfavorecidas en delincuentes que deben redimirse a través del trabajo para el Estado.
