- Abstract
This article identifies trends in punishment in Colombia, using criminal policy and criminology theories, under a historical, qualitative and quantitative methodology. It is the second product of an investigation on criminal punishment trends in Colombia. The first one, reconstructed and examined seven theories that explain the reforms to the special part of the criminal code. This one presents the empirical work. It shows the overflow of penalties in Colombia by comparing trends in the penal codes of 1980 (Decree Law 100), and 2000 (Law 599), and its amendments until July 2022. The variables it observes are: (1) changes in the protected legal assets (creation of new assets and hierarchy of protected assets); (2) inventory of criminal offences; and (3) minimums and maximums of conviction. Finally, it explains the current direction Colombian criminal penal policy using Niklas Luhmann's theory of social system.
