Abstract

In their own ways, common law and civil law criminal justice systems have shown a permanent adaptation to new criminal justice policy tendencies, mainly due to the observation that the imposition of sentence, the creation of new criminal offences and the prison system do not effectively reduce crime nor rehabilitate the offender, merely responding in the same way to conflicts of sufficient heterogeneity (Zaffaroni, 1998; Varona Martínez, 1998; Bergalli, 2003).
