Abstract

LARROTA CASTILLO, Richard; GAVIRIA GOMEZ, Ana Milena; MORA JAIMES, Carolina  and  ARENAS RIVERO, Alejandra. Criminogenic aspects of recidivism and its problem. Rev. Univ. Ind. Santander. Salud [online]. 2018, vol.50, n.2, pp.158-165. ISSN 0121-0807.  https://doi.org/10.18273/revsal.v50n2-2018007.

Introduction:

Penitentiary recidivism is one of the most relevant indicators to perceive the impact of the deprivation of liberty on the process of resocialization. In turn, it is the benchmark of greater objectivity to assess the effectiveness or ineffectiveness of the measures that the Colombian national government has been implementing in matters of criminal politics.

Objective

The objective of this study is to present a comprehensive framework of the problem of criminal recidivism for the Colombian state, and to present some of the scientific studies that try to explain it.

Methodology:

The process for the construction of the comprehensive framework was guided by the CPC diagram (causes - problematic - consequences); whereas the background check was carried out with a systematic search strategy using as keywords: “recidivism” “criminal recidivism”, in Google Scholar, Pubmed, Redalyc, Scielo, Dialnet databases.

Results and Discussion.

The information that supports this writing suggests that criminal recidivism of the penitentiary type has become not only a consequence of the ineffectiveness of the public measures that have been implemented, but that it is currently a cause of itself. In addition to this, it is a multi-causal phenomenon that requires complex public intervention.

Keywords : Recidivism; criminal law; prevention and control; prisions; social control.
