“The motivation behind these dialogues was to explore my current thinking—half a century after the publication of my *Theory of Crime* (*Teoría del delito*), four decades after the *Treatise* (*Tratado*), over thirty years after *In Search of Lost Penalties* (*En busca de las penas perdidas*), and a quarter-century since my last *Treatise*.

Thus, a set of notes took shape; I later decided to organize and refine them, adding bibliographic references in the footnotes. These dialogues—at times resembling interrogations, though without any Platonic pretensions—allowed me to explain, in language less formal than traditional academic discourse, certain key issues that I believe could help reconstruct criminal law dogmatics for Our America.”

This is how Raúl Eugenio Zaffaroni describes the content of his new book, *Criminal Law Dogmatics for Our America* (*Dogmática jurídico-penal para Nuestra América*).
