Diseño de un Instrumento para Evaluar la Participación de los Adolescentes en el Sistema de Responsabilidad Penal Adolescente (SRPA) en Colombia

Abstract

The purpose of this research was to design an instrument to evaluate the participation of young people and adolescents who are in the Criminal Responsibility System, this in order to provide the Colombian Institute of Family Welfare with a tool consistent with what is established in the Article 15 of Law 1098 of 2006 which regulates the Childhood and Adolescence Code.

This is a quantitative investigation of an instrumental type. Content validation was carried out by five expert judges who evaluated the instrument in terms of pertinence, relevance and writing. Regarding results, a content validity expressed in Aiken's V was obtained equal to 0.83, a Kappa Fleiss index equal to 0.50 and an expression in Kr20 equal to 0.84 indicating a very good internal consistency. The pilot sample was intentional, composed of 194 young people and adolescents between 18 and 24 years of age, and it was found that the majority of respondents reported that they were familiar with the SRPA participation tools.
