Eficacia de la justicia restaurativa en el proceso penal colombiano

Abstract

Restorative justice in Colombia is a fundamental pillar for the criminal process itself, as it contributes to the repair of the social fabric. Especially because it promotes reconciliation and repair of harm, instead of focusing only on punishment. It helps heal relationships between victims and aggressors, reduces the recidivism of crimes and contributes to the construction of a more just and peaceful society. Restorative justice is based on principles of dialogue, reparation and responsibility, to achieve these ends. Despite all this, it faces challenges such as a lack of resources and training for facilitators, the resistance of some sectors to change the traditional punitive approach, and the need for greater awareness and education about its benefits. For this reason, we seek to study and analyze these factors to recommend strategies that help comply and overcome these obstacles that prevent its effectiveness.
