Summary: Colombia does not have a structured and defined Criminal Policy; on the contrary, the only thing that is found with respect to this theme are varied statements of the Constitutional Court, which make it possible to clarify that all those materialized measures, especially in penal, penal process, and prison legislation; such as categorization of crimes, behavior modification, increase of penalties, among others; are Criminal Policy.
