Eugenio Raul Zaffaroni is a Justice of the Supreme Court of Argentina, full professor of the Department of Criminal Law and Criminology at the University of Buenos Aires, an honorary doctorate from UFRJ and several other universities, and vice-president of the International Association of Criminal Law. Among his works published in Brazil are "In Search of Lost Penalties", "Brazilian Criminal Law", co-authored with Nilo Batista, "Manual of Brazilian Criminal Law" and "Da Tentativa", both co-authored with José Henrique Pierangeli. Zaffaroni defends a point of view on the penal system that he defines as "marginal realism". He discusses the reality of the peripheral countries, based on which criminal penalties cannot be legally grounded, since they have a political meaning. From these assumptions, linked to a critical criminology, Zaffaroni presents his contributions to penal dogmatics, one of his main contributions in this field is the concept of "guilt by vulnerability" that takes into account the selectivity of the penal system in the application of punishment.
