El Bien Jurídico Y Las Funciones Del Derecho Penal (The Good Juridic and the Function of the Criminal Law)

Spanish Abstract: La dogmatica penal referida a las funciones del Derecho penal y el bien juridico penal es amplia y diversa. Con el liberalismo penal comenzo un proceso de construccion teorica del objeto de tutela del Derecho penal, que no ha concluido. La mayoria de los penalistas contemporaneos, salvo pocas excepciones, coinciden en senalar que el Derecho penal protege bienes juridicos; sin embargo, al definir que se entiende por bien juridico es cuando comienzan las divergencias teoricas. El rol de la Constitucion como norma suprema del ordenamiento juridico de un pais, la derivacion de esta del objeto de proteccion del Derecho Penal y las complejas interrelaciones que se establecen entre poder estatal, proteccion penal, delimitacion del bien juridico etc., constituyen algunos de los temas presentes del Derecho penal y la Filosofia penal contemporanea.English Abstract: The penal dogmatic referred to the shows of The Penal Law and the penal juridical good is ample and diverse. The process of theoretic constructio of the object of tutelage of The Penal Law begun with the penal liberalism and its end has not come. The contemporary criminal lawyers’ majority, excluding a few exceptions coincide in indicating that The Penal Law protects the juridical good, however, when defining what they understand for juridical good it is where they begin the theoretic divergences. The role of the Constitution like supreme standard of the juridical organizing of a country, the derivation of this of the object of protection of The Penal Law and the complex interrelations that become established between the state-owned power, penal protection and the delimitation of the good juridical constitute some of the present themes of The Criminal Law and the Penal contemporary Philosophy.
