En los 20 años de vigencia del Código penal español se han realizado más de 30 reformas, es decir, con más de una reforma penal al año. La mayoría han incrementado el rigor punitivo extendiendo los tipos penales, subiendo las penas y haciendo el sistema penitenciario menos flexible, en especial con algunos delitos. Todo ello ha llevado a unas tasas de población penitenciaria muy elevadas, aunque en España no hay cifras de delincuencia altas. Esta investigación pone de manifiesto que muchas de las prácticas del sistema penal indican que el modelo de la seguridad ciudadana se está consolidando en el sistema penal español. Sin embargo, este proceso tiene una diferente intensidad en cada fase del sistema, siendo más fuerte en la fase legislativa y más débil en el ámbito penitenciario. Una de las principales conclusiones es que el instrumento que se ha diseñado es ideal para medir el grado de penetración del modelo a través del sistema.2018text (article)application/pdfhttps://dialnet.unirioja.es/servlet/oaiart?codigo=6576328(Revista) ISSN 0423-4847Estudios de Deusto: revista de la Universidad de Deusto, ISSN 0423-4847, Vol. 66, Nº. 1, 2018, pags. 281-290engLICENCIA DE USO: Los documentos a texto completo incluidos en Dialnet son de acceso libre y propiedad de sus autores y/o editores.

The punitive turn in Spain. Is the welfare State able to resist it?

In recent years there is a tendency to carry out penal reforms in Spain very often, as it also happens in other countries. During its twenty years of existence, the Spanish penal code has already been modified more than 30 times, on an average of more than one penal reform by year. Most of them have increased punitiveness by widening the categories of crimes, raising the penalties, and making the penitentiary system less flexible, especially for some criminal offences, all leading to a very high prison population. The investigation has shown that there are many processes and practices indicating that the law and order model is consolidating itself in the Spanish penal system, leading to a punitive turn. Nevertheless this process has a different intensity at each phase, being stronger at the legislative stage and softer in the penitentiary enforcement phase. One of the main conclusions is, therefore, that the designed instrument is ideal for measuring the degree of penetration of the model throughout the system.
