Abstract

Resumen: Este artículo examina los factores que condicionan el trato y la disposición preliminar de casos penales. Para esto estimamos modelos multivariados basados en la observación aleatoria de audiencias en Bogotá y Cali (N = 330), lo que incluyó la recolección de datos sobre el comportamiento de los jueces, sus decisiones y las características de las personas detenidas. Se demuestra que factores “extralegales”, como, por ejemplo, el tipo de defensa o el origen étnico o racial de los procesados, están asociados con la variación en el trato e imposición de la detención preventiva, además de criterios “legales” relacionados con la gravedad de los delitos y las condenas previas. ***** Abstract: This study examines the correlates of judicial treatment and preliminary disposition of criminal cases in a random sample of cases in arraignment courts in Bogota and Cali (N = 330). We specify a set of multivariate models based on the direct observation of cases in these courts, including data on the behavior of judges, their decisions, and characteristics of suspects. We show variation in the treatment of suspects and their pre-trial detention status, related to “extra-legal” factors such as the type of defense and the racial or ethnic origin of suspects, as well as “legal” factors attached to the severity of the current offense and their prior criminal record.
