Abstract (English): The aim of this article is to analyze the influence of the perception of restorative justice and the type of custodial measure, either at the beginning or at the end of the process, on prosociality and adaptive behavior in a group of young people involved in Colombia’s Adolescent Criminal Responsibility System (SRPA). Scales of prosociality, adaptive behavior, and attitudes toward restorative justice were applied to two groups of young offenders in the SRPA: at the beginning of the process with a custodial measure (n = 25) and at the end of the process with a non-custodial measure (n = 25). In addition, the youths were grouped according to their level of perception of restorative justice. It was found that the level of perception of restorative justice influences the use of community resources within social adaptation, empathy, emotional support, and prosociality. The results underscore the importance of restorative justice in the resocialization process. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
Abstract (Spanish): El objetivo de este artículo es analizar la influencia de la percepción hacia la justicia restaurativa y el tipo de medida privativa, al inicio del proceso o al final de este, sobre la prosocialidad y conducta adaptativa en un grupo de jóvenes vinculados al Sistema de Responsabilidad Penal para Adolescentes (SRPA) de Colombia. Se aplicaron escalas de prosocialidad, conducta adaptativa y de actitudes hacia la justicia restaurativa a dos grupos de jóvenes infractores vinculados al SRPA: al inicio del proceso con medida privativa (n = 25) y al final de este con medida no privativa (n = 25). Además, se agruparon los jóvenes según el nivel de percepción hacia la justicia restaurativa. Se encontró que el nivel de percepción hacia la justicia restaurativa influye en el uso de recursos comunitarios dentro de la adaptación social, la empatía, apoyo emocional y prosocialidad. Los resultados subrayan la importancia de la justicia restaurativa en el proceso de resocialización. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
