Abstract

The system of childhood and adolescence was created as a response to the so-called Criminal Law of Minors - hereinafter SRPA - (2006), through the thesis of comprehensive protection
with some differences between the European and Anglo-Saxon systems, which in both cases define the adolescent as a subject of maximum protection or in the opposite case can be judged as an adult. The main purpose of the Colombian system lies in the repair and accompaniment
of the minor in search of directing him in the best possible way for his rehabilitation: society, family, and school; however said purpose is impossible in many cases given the complexity of each situation and the lack of resources on the part of the State, making it difficult to comply with the reparation of victims.
