Addressing violence in prision context. A complex, systemic and Biocentric perspective.

Abstract

In this article we present the theoretical corpus that guides our research around the approach of violence. The purpose of this paper is to provide a theoretical perspective that allows a complex, systemic and biocentric understanding of the problem. In our studies, framed in a qualitative methodology, we have generated knowledge to remove the foundations of the punitive-repressive model, which addresses this issue as a dead end. We seek to contribute with new comprehension frameworks based on a perspective that outperforms the stances that clearly have already shown their failure.

 The developments we here present, based on relationship ethics, show pending educational challenges. They seek to repair and strengthen social networks and collectives, to sustain the democratic political system that we yearn, as a relational model of human societies.
