La ampliación de las medidas punitivas para las mujeres que cometen delitos relacionados con la etapa de distribución y comercialización del narcotráfico en Colombia

Abstract

Drug trafficking has been for years and at international level a major problem for criminal policy, due to the serious consequences it entails at social, economic and political levels. Beyond this, there are consequences directly related to the female population, which suffers the pressure of the sex-generic devices that permeate the large drug trafficking networks. Thus, it is important to make an analysis of the policies to be applied in the treatment of this population, which, far from being a criminal actor, should be analyzed as a population in a condition of vulnerability that, due to its context, is involved in the criminality that allows the growth and subsistence of large mafias. Once the condition of vulnerability of women is understood, it is important to study alternative mechanisms that allow them not only to comply with the sentences that in any case take place whenever they incur in typical, legal and guilty conducts, but also to comply with the purposes of the penalty from various mechanisms and not only from the intramural penalty, as is currently evident.
