The violence It is not resolved alone sorrows harder.
This relevant axiom predominated, as a reality that does not require more evidencein several of the exhibitions of the Forum Against Crime and Violence.
The debates they made it clear that the insecurity that overwhelms the country is not a matter of simple punitive failures, but rather the reflection of deep fractures in the social fabric.
Harden penalties without transforming the justice system It’s like putting a new lock on a rotten door.
The comparative experience and local analysis of several panelists agree that violence does not decrease only with more prison.
Behind the crime there is often a desperate attempt to recover a dignity that exclusion and accumulated injustice have taken away.
An economic model that generates growth but not well-being, salaries that are not enough and a brutal disconnection between youth aspirations and real opportunities are the perfect breeding ground for crime to flourish.
But the problem starts much earlier. Violence has been normalized as a language of power in a patriarchal society that reproduces it on every corner.
The home – far from being a refuge – has become the main scene of aggression against children.
It’s not about being soft on crime, it’s about being smart.
Security is not built only with police and judges, but with schools, decent jobs, protected families and a citizenry that regains trust in its institutions.
As long as we do not address the causes, any punitive speech will be just another noise.
Hence the imperative need for the living forces of the country, representing the State and society, to dedicate themselves to a Pact against Violence.
This pact, masterfully outlined by Attorney General Yeni Berenice Reynoso, and which Listín Diario supports, can be the viable alternative to the dispersed fight against crime in the country.
