Abstract

Del parentesco como institución derivan una serie de deberes especiales y expectativas concretas que hacen que el hecho pueda ser más o menos grave. Se proponen criterios para interpretar la circunstancia de parentesco como atenuante, agravante o eximente, atendiendo a las razones jurídico- penales y político-criminales que subyacen a su regulación.

This article proposes several criteria in order to interpret the parenthood circumstance as an aggravating or a mitigating factor, or even as a defense, in accordance with criminal law reasons underlying its regulation.
