Police, childhood, and adolescence. The urgency of a new paradigm

Abstract

This research work focuses
on the urgent need to reduce in a
real and effective way the harm on
human rights that arise in the interaction
of public security institutions
with children and adolescents. The
need for the sanctioning administrative
law to adjust to the doctrine of
the integral protection of childhood
and adolescence is established. The
conventionality and constitutionality
of the deprivation of liberty with
respect to children and adolescents
for the commission of administrative
offenses is analyzed, as well as
the need for a follow-up of the formation
and training of the police
forces based on protocols for the
detention of adolescents in conflict
with criminal law.
