In recent decades there has been a punitive turn in the area of juvenile justice.
Paradoxically, this shift has not come about as a result of an increase in juvenile crime,
but rather has been justified, to a large extent, by citing public opinion. The impact of
social demands on criminal policy has led to it becoming one of the main lines of
research in criminology today. This paper seeks to systematize and discuss national and
international scientific evidence in order to identify the constraints and challenges
facing this field of study. Firstly, the characteristic features of attitudes towards juvenile
criminality are described and the explanatory factors are analyzed. Subsequently, the
article reviews the methodological approaches which have been used to measure public
opinion, examining their most significant strengths and failings. Finally, it evaluates the
theoretical and methodological implications of this paper, providing insights for the
future development of this area of research. |
