Determinación judicial de la pena y proporcionalidad con el hecho

Synopsis of Determinación judicial de la pena y proporcionalidad con el hecho

This book by Gonzalo J. Basso addresses the judicial determination of punishment and its proportionality to the criminal act. The author analyzes the state of the issue, systematizing the theoretical approaches proposed in continental and Anglo-North American legal-criminal science. It proposes a structure for the judge's interpretive powers, linking them to the assessment of the severity of the crime and the determination of the specific penalty. The proposal is based on von Hirsch's distinction between cardinal and ordinal proportionality, seeking to guide the judicial configuration of punishment towards proportionality requirements.
