Controlling the general output of the penal system on administrative law of criminal law [Controlando los resultados del sistema penal sobre el Facultad de Derecho administrativo del Facultad de Derecho penal].

Abstract

The article analyzes the difficulties that the Chilean penal system shows in controlling its outcomes. It shows that the combination of a legal culture fixed with individual judgements and an institutional design that maintains that focus and disperses decision-making powers between non-coordinated actors, might tend to produce such an effect. The article offers a reconstruction of the administrative alternatives of control of penal outcomes that can be respectful of the type of decision-making system that makes out criminal law.
