Encarcelamiento materno y problemas de comportamiento en niños, niñas y jóvenes en Chile
Publicado
04-07-2023
Resumen
La tasa de encarcelamiento ha aumentado significativamente en Chile en las últimas décadas, siendo este aumento particularmente pronunciado en el caso de la población penal femenina. En una sociedad patriarcal donde la crianza recae principalmente en las mujeres, esto genera consecuencias para ellas y sus hijos/as. Este artículo explora en qué medida las características de los/as niños/as, del contexto donde quedan y de la condena de la madre se relacionan con más conductas problemáticas. Con una muestra representativa de mujeres privadas de libertad de Santiago de Chile, y a través de regresiones logísticas, se evidencia que los/as niños/as de mayor edad, que vivían con su madre antes del encarcelamiento y reportan problemas con la persona que queda a cargo de cuidarles fuera de la cárcel tienen mayores probabilidades de presentar conductas problemáticas. Estos resultados son robustos incluso cuando se controla por el consumo de sustancias y la reincidencia previa de la madre.
