FLOREZ PINILLA, Katherine  and  VILLACAMPA ESTIARTE, Carolina. Differential factors between individual and collective desistance of FARC-EP women in prison. Rev. Crim. [online]. 2023, vol.65, n.1, pp.171-188.  Epub June 19, 2023. ISSN 1794-3108.  https://doi.org/10.47741/17943108.408.

By 2017, there were two legal frameworks in force in Colombia to promote the disbanding and dismantling of the FARC-EP. Both, although from different contexts, have promoted, on the one hand, the individual disbandment and, on the other, the collective disbandment of its members. Women have participated in both processes, from freedom or prison, in a minority and asymmetrical manner compared to men. In order to analyse this phenomenon, this study sought to identify the factors that led women to desist in one or the other modality and to determine differences and similarities. For this purpose, a probabilistic model was designed to capture the causal relationships between desistance and factors predicted from the theories of social learning, rational choice and informal social control, in a sample of women in prison who desisted individually and collectively. It was found that factors such as belonging to an age range between 20 and 31 years, having a partner and having participated in serious crimes associated with terrorism, influenced the selection of the individual modality, while being over 31 years old, participating in common crimes along with those associated with terrorism, including drug trafficking, and coming from regions with a history of deep-rooted conflict predicted collective desistance.

Keywords : Violent crime; desistance; armed conflict; female excombatants; quantitative analysis.
