El menor infractor en Colombia: “un sistema especial”

Abstract

In the present article a brief joint analysis is carried out on the serious situation faced by many of the minors who have been classified by the criminal jurisdiction as juvenile offenders. The system of responsibility on the part of the State and the administration and implementation of the different public policies that have been created to deal with this problem emerged thanks to the impunity represented by the model of comprehensive protection for young people in Colombia. It examines the causes that lead the child to commit a criminal act, the corresponding sanction and also the reincorporation to a life in society once you leave the specialized detention centers to redeem their criminal actions and the way in which the State Colombian must guarantee that their stay in them is of quality. Thanks to the need to solve this problem, this study is carried out based on the theoretical basis of the doctrine and national jurisprudence on the subject.
