Tratamiento de rehabilitación y resocialización de los adolescentes en el sistema de responsabilidad penal en Colombia

Abstract

This research is concerned with identifying whether the rehabilitation and resocialization treatment of adolescents in the system of criminal responsibility for recidivism after inclusion in society is ineffective. From a methodological point of view, data were collected from Colombian jurisprudence, the Childhood and Adolescence Code, texts and international treaties relating to the rehabilitation and resocialization of adolescents in the criminal responsibility system in Colombia. The focus of the research is qualitative since it consists of an analysis of each situation related to the behaviour of adolescents after serving their sentences, in order to determine whether there has been effective rehabilitation and resocialization from government. The main conclusion of the research is aimed at rethinking the action initiatives that are managed to achieve attention to a prevention plan, starting from the social reality that surrounds us today, which is initially framed in the lack of clear rules and norms in the home from childhood, as well as a level of authority in which children recognize the importance of respect for their parents and authority figures, thus managing to act in a more rational way and learning to assume the consequences of their actions in a responsible manner. In addition, the technical-administrative guidelines for the care of adolescents in the SRPA criminal responsibility system must have greater compliance with what is structured in its theoretical part, managing to articulate in a comprehensive and precise manner the processes of care related to international covenants and treaties, such as the Beijing rules, which focuses on the care of the adolescent or young person taking into account the type of negative conduct experienced, taking as a last option the deprivation of freedom, that is, exhausting other mechanisms of resocialization in the face of possible punishable conduct
