Análisis de la efectividad de la justicia restaurativa en el sistema de responsabilidad penal para adolescentes, en la relación entre víctima – victimario

Abstract

In Colombia, Law 1098 of 2006, also known as The Children and Adolescents Code, introduced the Criminal Responsibility System for Adolescents - SRPA, in order to articulate specialized judicial authorities and administrative bodies for the prosecution of adolescents between the ages of 14 and 18 years. The purpose of the PACU is to establish a specific and differentiated pedagogical process in relation to the adult system. In order to respond to this purpose, a restorative justice approach is applied, which analyzes the social dimension of the crime, involving the different actors (Victim, Victim and Community) and promotes the repair of the damages generated. Likewise, the pedagogical nature of the PACU promotes the establishment of alternative measures to the deprivation of liberty in adolescents. The present investigation focuses its study in the analysis of the effectiveness of restorative justice in the relationship that exists between victim and victimizer, from the interpretation of a team of six professionals.
