CRIME AND PUNISHMENT

From my perspective regarding regulations in Colombia arises a question that several of us ponder since this question is not so simple because the adequacy of the sanction varies depending on the crime and the circumstances in which it is committed. I estimate that within the Penal Code the purpose lies in establishing penalties proportional to the severity of the crimes, taking into consideration aspects such as: The harm caused, the perpetrator's intention, recidivism, and other relevant factors.

However, it is important to note that in certain situations, sanctions can be disproportionate, as the excessive severity of penalties for drug-related offenses and inadequate penalties for corruption offenses has been criticized.

In summary, while we seek to establish appropriate punishments for violations of the law in Colombia, reality shows that there are still challenges regarding their adjustment and effective implementation. It is necessary to continue working on strengthening the justice system to achieve greater proportionality and effectiveness in criminal response.
