Violence, prisons

The current situation in prisons is similar to that of a powder keg that can exp
lode at any time due to overcrowded conditions, as a result of a policy of makin
g offenders, and a slow and inefficient judicial system. In addition to a deep-r
ooted corruption, violence, drugs and alcohol, there is no proper classification
of inmates according to the hazard. Several irregularities such cells income, i
ncome from drugs, alcohol, gifts and payment of controlled prostitution allegati
ons are common in such institutions, not just by family but by internal and ex -
offenders.

ouses an average of 17 667. Until May 2007 there are 11 250 @ s intern without t

Under these conditions it is difficult for inmates to achieve a genuine social r
ehabilitation treatment, as the conditions in which prisoners are currently not
allowed expectations that house at the time that individuals obtain their freedo
m will be productive and useful to society.
Violence, crime

Crime and crime have taken on new forms in the country. There has been a signifi
cant increase in criminal acts like assault on buses, shrimp looting, murders, k
idnappings, etc. It is perceived that a part of this activity has been modernize
d through business organizations and more complex approach, with greater and mor
e varied resources and greater infiltration into the state and society in genera
l through economies operate under rules imposed illegal by the very violence. Ne
w forms of violence entail the emergence of new actors and transformation of the
above. Not only the absence of horizons and dissemination of images of consumpt
ion and pleasure is creating a new type of crime but the crime organization itse
lf requires other characters: the killer, a gang member, the gamin, etc.

This has prompted various reactions of the people, whether you tend to take up a
rms to defend themselves against aggression thus committing a crime, or take jus
tice into their own hands lynching, or incinerated in a massive subjecting the p
erpetrators or
Violence, media

Socialization spaces left by traditional institutions are assumed by new venues

such as television, video games, street, park. The press, magazines and televisi
on to increase their red note daily account of countless acts of violence involv
ing mostly men, but which are increasingly seen in women, and within which is se
en growing number of minors This enables building a distorted perception of the
phenomenon, not only because it desensitizes the public and trivialize violence
when inserted into everyday life rather than help

Similarly, television broadcasts and generates violent behavior patterns, values

and criminal techniques through programs cartoons, recent film productions, whi
ch are found with different doses of violence in their files. It is estimated th
at some children and teenagers watching 4-5 hours a day on television, 1825 hour
