Lina Marcela Acevedo

Lina Marcela Acevedo is a family lawyer in Colombia who has voiced her opinions on the juvenile justice system, emphasizing the need for a balanced approach that prioritizes education and prevention over punitive measures. She argues that while the current system aims to rehabilitate young offenders, it often falls short due to resource constraints and misuse, leading to a perception of ineffectiveness. Acevedo advocates for reforms that would enhance educational opportunities and therapeutic support for minors, rather than simply imposing harsher penalties.
