| Description: | Actualmente hay un uso recurrente del Derecho Penal como instrumento estatal para enfrentar conflictos sociales variados. Modificaciones legislativas son hechas sin consideración a su necesidad y eficacia y se busca satisfacer intereses particulares, no la solución de conflictos sociales. Un actor de primer orden, aunque no el único, en el uso excesivo del Derecho Penal está constituido por los políticos, que, en busca de prestigio político con fines electorales, continuamente formulan propuestas de reforma legal que aumentan el campo de acción del Derecho Penal. Este aumento genera consecuencias negativas como sobrecarga de trabajo y un mayor desprestigio a una ya congestionada y bastante desacreditada justicia penal. Esta tendencia, denominada populismo penal, será estudiada en relación con su existencia en Colombia y la delincuencia sexual. Nowadays there is an overuse of criminal law as a state mechanism to confront social conflicts of diverse nature. Changes on legislation are being made without taking into account its necessity and efficacy and such reforms mean to satisfy particular interests and not to resolve social conflicts. Politicians are main actors in this growing process, although not the only ones, who in seek of political prestige in order to obtain electoral benefits continuously propose legal modifications that are broadening the social area subject to criminal law. This overuse of criminal law has negative consequences such as more work overload to a currently overburdened system and an increase in the bad reputation of at the present discredited branch of justice. This legislative tendency, named as penal populism, will be studied in regard to its existence in Colombia and sexual delinquency. |
