ACERO SOTO, Sandra Marcela  y  PEREZ SALAZAR, Bernardo. Los delitos contra el patrimonio en Colombia: Comentarios sobre su comportamiento en décadas recientes. Rev. Crim. [online]. 2008, vol.50, n.1, pp.59-72. ISSN 1794-3108.

This paper poses questions from an analysis of statistical series of criminal offenses against property in Colombia during recent decades and presents the distortive effects caused by reforms to criminal statute that create or eliminate penal types or vary legal classification of a penal conduct. This paper also analyzes the territorial distribution of offenses in changing demographic, institutional and socioeconomic scenarios from the second half of the 20th century; reviews the variation in the participation of offense against property within the total criminality rate in the country; and, finally, reflects upon the nature and intention of the reforms to criminal policy in the past and its effects on the security and functioning of justice in Colombia.

Palabras clave : Criminology; criminal law policy; criminal offenses against property; criminal information systems; Colombia; 20th century.
