Abstract

CITA TRIANA, Ricardo Antonio. Current transformations in the punitive power. Characterization of its main features. Rev. Crim. [online]. 2012, vol.54, n.2, pp.61-75. ISSN 1794-3108.

This document approaches the subject of recent transformations in the punitive power from two analysis levels, fi rst focusing on the description of the main contextual elements where changes occur, and secondly developing the general features that currently characterize these transformations taking place in the punitive power. The core purpose is obtaining a diagnosis serving to detect the main and present problems confronted by the legal-criminal and political-criminal discourse and, in this way, contributing to determine new relevant research scenarios.

Keywords : Criminal law; social control; criminality; criminal policy; socio-legal research.
