  • The root cause has to do with impunity, because for many years, these police was used to control the population, mainly, and not to prosecute criminals. Therefore, in order for them to be the blind instruments of power, they were given autonomy. They were given impunity.

      Shows where problem comes from
  • The judicial police, though, are not only rogues acting on their own. The force is also frequently used by politicians from the ruling party to intimidate opponents

      The corruption is not fought, instead, it is encouraged and used by the politicians
  • In June, when drug baron Hector Palma crash landed in a Lear jet, the government had to use the army to capture him. Judicial police in the drug lord's pay had whisked him away to a safe house belonging to the regional judicial police commander. Experts here estimate that Palma, who often traveled wearing a judicial police uniform, and other drug kingpins, have been paying judicial police and other authorities as much as $200 million a month for protection.

      These police are not covertly corrupt. They are very open about it, and everyone knows the problems, they just don't do anything about them

  • President Zedillo's own son was nearly abducted by several off-duty judicial police agents who apparently mistook him for just another rich kid.
  • more than two-thirds of the federal judicial police are in cahoots with drug traffickers.
  • Valdez recalls how shocked he was when the men flashed badges identifying them as judicial police agents.
  • The agents were never arrested, and Valdez and his son started getting telephone death threats.

Colombian Criminal Justice in Crisis: Fear and Distrust - ProQuest Research Library - P... - 1 views

  • Colombian criminal jurisdiction not only-and not mainly-as an inefficient and corrupt system but rather as a system driven by fear and distrust.
  • fear also affects the performance of justice by inhibiting and discouraging judges from administering justice
  • These effects of fear relate closely both to a more or less generalized distrust of the Colombia juridical system and state justice and, alternatively, to the prevalence of private justice.

  • This is so because, on the one hand, high levels of fear and distrust inhibit the state's capability to provide justice to its citizens. On the other hand, private justice appears as a somehow logical response to the failure of the Colombian state to provide justice. In reality, private justice becomes the main source to further violence and increase people's distrust in the administration of justice

      never-ending cycle
  • The state's failure to provide justice to its citizens and the lack of a reliable criminal jurisdiction are frequent descriptions of the exercise of justice in contemporary Colombia.

      This sums up the entire judiciary problem in Colombia
  • the generalized use of violence has become a powerful way of subverting criminal jurisdiction.
  • Intimidation through violence ensures that the "request" or impositions of these groups are effectively and rapidly carried out. The constant competition within and among these groups and the increasing inability of the state to control them has meant that "private justice" is now available as any other market commodity, and can be bought by most ordinary people, not just those who are involved in armed conflict or drug trafficking

      The first highlighted paragraph gives me the information needed to answer my question.
  • Under these circumstances a fraction of the population is employed in unproductive activities, either by engaging in crime-related activities or by protecting their human and physical assets, making no contribution to output. In addition, some of the physical capital can diverted to unproductive activities, such as public and private defense-related equipment.
