TORRES VASQUEZ, Henry y TIRADO ACERO, Misael. Sanctions in the Adolescent Criminal Responsibility System in Colombia. Rev. Cient. Gen. José María Córdova [online]. 2023, vol.21, n.41, pp.131-148. Epub 01-Ene-2023. ISSN 1900-6586. https://doi.org/10.21830/19006586.1001.
The criminal treatment of minors who transgress the criminal law is a recurring concern, given the increase in criminality. Justice is demanded regardless of whether the fundamental rights of minors are violated. This article studies the Adolescent Criminal Responsibility System in Colombia, the sanctions it contemplates, its restorative justice approach, although framed within criminal law. This system considers the deprivation of liberty sanction as a last resort for exceptional use, but this principle is not fully applied. At the same time, there is pressure to increase sentences, which may violate the best interests of the child. It is concluded that it is essential to reinforce the application of restorative justice in order to comply with the purposes of prevention, reparation, and social reintegration of minors.
