Realidades, Desafíos y Oportunidades de la Psicología Jurídica en el Ámbito Educativo Nocturno: Sistematización de una Experiencia

Abstract

This systematization of the experience seeks to generate a critical reflection on the role of the legal psychologist in the school context, to recognize how his intervention influences the prevention, containment and reduction of dysfunctional and risky behaviors of law infringement. In particular, the following question is posed: What challenges does the night school of the IED Antonio Nariño pose to legal psychology professionals? To address this question, an exercise of observation, interview and analysis of the information obtained was carried out, which allowed the identification of the main challenges within the Antonio Nariño educational institution. Among these, the inappropriate implementation of disciplinary measures, the partial approach to restorative justice, the difficulties in resolving conflicts, the stigmatization of some students, among others, stand out. In addition, risk and protective factors that could influence the development of antisocial behaviors in this environment were recognized. From this analysis, a proposal was developed based both on the observations made by a teacher from the educational community and their own, as well as on scientific literature, with the aim of offering a plan for prevention, containment and reduction of criminal risk, based on the principles of Restorative Justice.
