Análisis de la conducta desde el punto de vista psicológico en el Derecho Penal

Abstract

Abstract: This work stems from an essential question: how can we understand people within the justice system beyond the facts and the laws? We investigate the intersection of psychology and criminal law, exploring the theoretical foundations of forensic psychology, its evolution, and key concepts such as criminal responsibility, lack of criminal responsibility, and criminal dangerousness. Furthermore, its assessment methodology and current challenges are examined, highlighting the importance of the interdisciplinary nature of psychological knowledge in legal processes. The research concludes that this approach enriches judicial decisions, promotes a more equitable assessment of criminal responsibility, and underscores the need for specialized training, valid instruments, interdisciplinary dialogue, and a commitment to human dignity. This exploration aims to be an invitation to build a justice system that, beyond punishment, fosters understanding. Abri.
