GOMEZ PINTO, Oscar Orlando e ZAPATA, Sebastián. The Colombian Criminal Policy's Effectiveness Preventing Crime. Rev. Crim. [online]. 2020, vol.62, n.3, pp.103-118. Epub 04-Dez-2020. ISSN 1794-3108.
This article performs a descriptive, quantitative analysis of the performance of the system through which the Colombian Government implements its criminal public policy: judicial, criminal justice and penitentiary systems. This study is not performed from the point of view of law, but from a perspective evaluating its effectiveness, considering crime a social issue. This article impacts the possibility of understanding and facing the phenomenon of crime from a preventive approach. This, upon identifying a dynamic imbalance of the system's components, which strengthens the problem, shows deficiencies in the purpose of criminal policy as a public policy that promotes prevention and emphasizes a vicious cycle that increases impunity. This cycle has operationally worn-out the Government and has generated high costs as a result of high crime indices.
