This research focuses on the production, interpretation, and implementation of rules and institutions by exploring how different actors have employed the concept of victims and victims? rights to promote their agendas in the context of criminal justice reforms. It also analyzes how the goals of these agendas have interplayed in practice. By the early 2000s, it seemed that the Colombian criminal justice system was headed towards a process characterized by broader victim participation, primarily because of the doctrine of the Constitutional Court on victims? rights. But in 2002, the Colombian Attorney General promoted a more adversarial criminal justice reform. This book argues that this reform represented a sudden and unpredicted reversal of the Constitutional Court?s doctrine on victim participation, even though one of the central justifications for the reform was the need to satisfy human rights standards and adhere to the jurisprudence of the Constitutional Court on victims? rights. In the criminal justice reform of the early 2000s and its subsequent modifications, the promotion of a dichotomous interpretation of the adversarial model?which conceived the criminal process as a competition between prosecution and defense?served to limit victim participation. This study examines how conceptions of victims? rights emerged out of the struggles between different and at times competing agendas. In the Colombian process of reform, victims? rights have been invoked both as a justification for criminal sanctions and as an explanation for crime prevention and restorative justice. After assessing quantitative and qualitative data, this book concludes that punitive approaches to victims? rights have prevailed over restorative justice perspectives. Furthermore, it argues that punitiveness in the criminal justice system has not resulted in more protection for victims. Ultimately, this research reveals that the adversarial criminal justice reform of the early 2000s has not substantially improved the protection of victims? rights in Colombia. 410 0$aIus Gentium: Comparative Perspectives on Law and Justice,$x1534-6781 ;$v62 606 $aHuman rights 606 $aCriminology 606 $aCriminal law 606 $aSocial justice 606 $aConstitutional law 606 $aHuman Rights$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/R19020 606 $aHuman Rights and Crime $3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/1BB020 606 $aCriminal Law and Criminal Procedure Law$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/R13006 606 $aSocial Justice, Equality and Human Rights$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/X33070 606 $aConstitutional Law$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/R17028 615 0$aHuman rights. 615 0$aCriminology. 615 0$aCriminal law. 615 0$aSocial justice. 615 0$aConstitutional law. 615 14$aHuman Rights. 615 24$aHuman Rights and Crime . 615 24$aCriminal Law and Criminal Procedure Law. 615 24$aSocial Justice, Equality and Human Rights. 615 24$aConstitutional Law. 676 $a347.861 700 $aSánchez-Mejía$b Astrid Liliana$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0929351 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910255267003321 996 $aVictims?
