La reincidencia del Adolescente Infractor: Necesidad de reformar el Art. 317 del Código de la Niñez y Adolescencia

Abstract

It is necessary to legally determine the recidivism of juvenile offenders; And, to exercise protective measures and appropriate sanctions; A reform is made to Art. 317 of the Organic Code of Children and Adolescents; In which the creation of a special record of recidivism is determined. This register would help in the judicial process, both in juveniles with socio-educational measures imposed by the court, as those that are pending hearing and which must be determined which is the most appropriate socio-educational measure; In addition to this the special register would also allow the option of marking the possible protective factors, in order to intervene with the child in the treatment section; And, behavioral monitoring, in which the DINAPEN would take active part. These actions, based on the information contained in the Special Recidivist Registry, are not intended to stigmatize the child who is a repeat offender; But rather to have adequate information according to which it can be undertaken in actions of care and control of the attitude of the offending teenager
