Resumen
Según el Código Penal Colombiano, Ley 599 de 2000, en su artículo 4 se
establece la función de la pena, señalando que ésta cumplirá las funciones de
prevención general, retribución justa, prevención especial, reinserción social y
protección al condenado. Sin embargo, las discusiones sobre la cadena perpetua
para los generadores de la violencia sexual, aprobada ya en cuatro debates casi
por unanimidad, demuestran que es una contradicción en sí misma, no solo
porque resulta ineficaz para prevenir, reducir o combatir este comportamiento, sino
que sus fines subrepticios son meramente electorales, sin un serio análisis en pro
de la política criminal colombiana. El código penal colombiano en los más de
veinte años de vigencia ha sufrido un número considerable de modificaciones y
adiciones “disuasorias” que en nada han contribuido a la reducción de las
conductas agravadas ni mucho menos cumplieron su finalidad inicial, antes, por el
contrario, recrudecieron los actos de violencia sexual y aumentaron
exponencialmente, una historia que se repite y de nada ha servido. Podemos
tomar como ejemplo la pena de seiscientos meses de prisión a quien cometa
genocidio y que no evitó que en la primera década del siglo XXI los actores de la
violencia en Colombia cometieran tanta barbarie.
According the Colombian Penal Code of Laws, 599 of 2000 in its article 4th, the function of the penalty is established, it expresses that it will fulfill the general prevention functions, fair compensation, special prevention, social reintegration and protection of the convicted person. However, discussions about life imprisonment for the perpetrators of sexual crimes have already been approved in four debates, almost unanimously, is a contradiction in itself, not only because it is ineffective in preventing, reducing or combating this behavior, but also because its aims Surreptitious are merely electoral, without a serious analysis in favor of Colombian criminal policy. In the more than twenty years that it has been in force, the Colombian penal code of laws has undergone a considerable number of “dissuasive” modifications and additions that have not contributed anything at all to the reduction of aggravated behaviors or to fulfilled their initial purpose, on the contrary, the acts of sexual crimes have been exponentially increased, a tale that repeats itself over and over without any consequences. For example, the penalty of six hundred months in prison for those who commit genocide did not prevent the acts of violence in Colombia in the first decade of the 21st century, so much barbarism was committed.
