Description
Summary:In this paper, the authors address an analysis of the current state of criminal law, based on an analysis of the discourses that support the expansion of the punitive power of the State, contrasting them with the view of those who advocate for the restriction of the criminal law based in the believe that the criminal law is a set of safeguards for citizens. Finally, they explain the underlying reasons for why only a limiting view of the punitive power of the State through the criminal guarantees, becomes useful to establish measures of legitimacy of state procedures.En el artículo, los autores abordan un análisis sobre el estado actual del derecho penal, partiendo de un análisis de los discursos que fundamentan la expansión del poder punitivo del Estado, contraponiéndolos con los que abogan por la restricción del mismo a partir de la visión del derecho penal como un conjunto de garantías para los ciudadanos. Finalmente, fundamentan las razones por las que sólo una visión limitadora del poder punitivo del Estado a través de las garantías penales, resulta útil para establecer medidas de legitimidad de los procedimientos estatales.
