The main objective of this article is to compare the relationship between labour and crime in the case of Argentina and Chile, from 1980 to the present. Specifically, it delves into how neoliberal reforms may have influenced crime statistics for both countries, by observing the impact of these neoliberal policies on indicators such as unemployment, job insecurity and informality. This was done through: a) a historical comparison of milestones considered important for the period, and then b) a comparison of crime figures for both countries, as well as employment and poverty figures, which allowed for a panoramic understanding of the transformations experienced by both countries in the period under study. The methodology used was secondary data analysis, which was interpreted in terms of the historical period that both countries were going through. The most important findings are related to the fact that crime is particularly sensitive for both countries to moments of "shock" or the application of adjustment policies in the implementation of neoliberalism, but that, nevertheless, this level of sensitivity is differentiated for each country.
