La presente tesis doctoral realiza un estudio sobre la acción de la opinión pública en el proceso de construcción de políticas criminales (penal policy-making). Concretamente, analiza el impacto, en el proceso legislativo penal, de los discursos en circulación en algunas de las manifestaciones de la opinión pública, especialmente en la prensa, tanto en la activación de la agenda política como en la adopción de determinadas soluciones políticas. Para tal, analiza cuatro casos concretos de reformas penales realizadas en España durante la VII Legislatura (2000-2004), periodo con mayor actividad legislativa en materia penal. Tomando por base tanto las teorías sobre el agenda-setting como los estudios de policy making, a partir del análisis tanto de la relación entre las agendas de los medios de comunicación, pública y política como también de la deconstrucción de los discursos presentes en cada una de ellas, se verifica el papel de la opinión pública (de algunos de los actores que la da forma) en la construcción de un proceso de populismo punitivo.

The present thesis aims to research the public opinion's action on the penal policy-making process. In fact, we analyze the effects off several discourses in circulations on some public opinion manifestations - with special interest in the press - on the legislative process, both setting the political agenda as in the acceptance of some policy alternatives as well. For that, it has been analyzed four specific cases of penal reforms passed during the 7th Spanish Legislature, the period with the highest legislative activity concerning penal issues. Appling the agenda-setting theory as well the policy-making research studies, from the analysis of the relationship between the media, the public, and the political agendas and the deconstruction of some discourses presents in each agenda, we had verified the role of public opinion - specific, the role of some social actors that shape it - in the construction of a penal populism process. Keywords Agenda-setting, public opinion, criminal policy, penal populism.
