Abstract

The present paper is aimed at reflexively reading what has been defined by Law 1098
of 2006, regarding penal liability of teenagers, where all measures taken must remain
pedagogical, specific and clearly differentiated from the adult system, as SRPA (Spanish
for Penal Liability System for Teenagers) keeps confinement of teenagers as a last resort,
in obedience to Constitutional Bloc and to restorative justice; regarding recidivism in
punishable conduct among teenagers between ages 14 and 18, in the Department of
Caldas.
Administrative and corrective measures, implemented within the frame of SRPA, are
neither enough nor appropriate to counter the size of the issue of juvenile delinquency.
Teenage recidivism in criminal conduct is a multi-factorial phenomenon into which
personal, family, social, economic and cultural elements converge. The latter shows
disarticulation among the interested parts “family-society-State”, as the implications
and the ideal of such shared responsibility, imply not only education but control over
teenagers.
