description | The purpose of this article is to identify and examine the main structural and procedural challenges of social reintegration for adolescents in Mexico, as well as to analyze the possible transformation of the current justice system for adolescents (which is positivist, punitive and sustained in penitentiary practices that violate human rights), into a justice system that heals and restores social and institutional omissions, and also the conditions of exclusion and marginalization that historically have characterized adolescents in conflict with the law. For such purposes, the ethnographic method is used, through interviews and focus groups with organizations of civil society. The theoretical framework is based on critical theory, fundamentally criminological. It is concluded that, although restorative justice has been incorporated declaratively into penitentiary mechanisms, the positivist nucleus of the penal system still produces and allows violations of human rights, even with the work developed by civil associations focused on the fundamental dimension of restorative justice: the social bond between the youth and the community. |

El artículo tiene como propósitos identificar y examinar los principales retos estructurales y procedimentales de la reintegración social para adolescentes en México, así como analizar la posible transformación del actual sistema de justicia para adolescentes, de carácter positivista, punitivo y sustentado en prácticas penitenciarias violatorias de los derechos humanos, en un sistema de justicia que sane y restaure las omisiones sociales e institucionales, al igual que las condiciones de exclusión y marginación que históricamente han caracterizado a los/las adolescentes en conflicto con la ley. Para ello, se utiliza el método etnográfico, por medio de observación participante, entrevistas y grupos focales con asociaciones civiles vinculadas al proceso de reintegración. El marco teórico se basa en la teoría crítica, fundamentalmente criminológica. Se concluye que, si bien la justicia restaurativa ha sido incorporada declarativamente a los mecanismos penitenciarios, el núcleo positivista del sistema penal todavía produce y permite violaciones a los derechos humanos, aun con la labor que desarrollan asociaciones civiles, centrada en la dimensión fundamental de la justicia restaurativa: el vínculo social entre jóvenes y comunidad.

Os objetivos do artigo são identificar e examinar os principais desafios estruturais e processuais da reintegração social para adolescentes no México, bem como analisar a possível transformação do atual sistema de justiça para adolescentes, positivista, punitivo e sustentado na violação das práticas penitenciárias do direitos humanos, em um sistema de Justiça que cura e restaura omissões sociais e institucionais, bem como as condições de exclusão e marginalização que historicamente caracterizaram os adolescentes em conflito com a lei. Para tais fins foi usado o método etnográfico através de entrevistas e grupos focais com organizações da sociedade civil. O quadro teórico é baseado na teoria crítica, fundamentalmente criminológica. Concluise que, embora a justiça restaurativa tenha sido incorporada declarativamente nos mecanismos penitenciários, o núcleo positivista do sistema penal ainda produz e permite violações dos direitos humanos, mesmo com o trabalho que desenvolve associações civis centraramse na dimensão fundamental da justiça restauradora: o vínculo social entre a juventude e a comunidade.
