CRIME AND PUNISHMENT

 

My point of view on the laws in Colombia is a question that many of us ask ourselves since this question is not so simple because the appropriateness of the penalty varies depending on the crime and the circumstances in which it is committed, I believe that in the criminal code The aim is to establish penalties proportional to the seriousness of the crimes, taking into account factors such as: The damage caused, the intention of the perpetrator, recidivism and other relevant circumstances.

However, it is noted that in some cases the penalties may be disproportionate since the excessive severity of penalties for drug-related crimes and the insufficient penalties for corruption crimes have been criticized.

In conclusion, although we seek to establish adequate penalties for violations of the law in Colombia, reality shows that there are still challenges regarding its adjustment and effective application. It is necessary to continue working on strengthening the justice system to achieve greater proportionality and effectiveness in the criminal response.
