Should the induction into prostitution be punishable? A study on its supporting statement, its dogmatic structure and its problems

Abstract

En este trabajo observaremos las razones que fundan la existencia legal del delito de inducción a la prostitución en un Estado social y democrático de Derecho, en el que se afirma, constitucionalmente, la existencia de la autonomía individual del ciudadano. A partir de allí y de la mano con el trascurrir histórico de este delito, ofrecido por la doctrina nacional de todas nuestras épocas, ofreceremos razones para indicar que responde al recorte de la libertad sexual de los ciudadanos, antes que a su tutela. Por último, se identificarán dos problemas de la dogmática penal en la estructura de imputación de este delito, que se suman a las razones críticas.In this paper we will take a look at the reasons that support the legal existence of induction into prostitution as a crime in a Democratic and Social State of Rule of Law, where the existence of the individual autonomy of the citizen is constitutionally stated.
