Abstract
This article aims to analyze the proposals in favor of reducing the legal age for criminal responsibility, expressed in publications of a virtual page of Facebook. It appears that the punitive voluptuousness is selectively and hierarchically expressed on certain teenagers, as the resurgence of punishment is designed as a solving strategy to social problems supposedly generated by a protective and permissive society. The study is guided by the hermeneutic-dialectic method which seeks to understand and, at the same time, confront this problematic in terms of its contradictions and conflicts. From a dialogue between interdisciplinary fields of knowledge, the implication of these assumptions about reducing the legal age for criminal responsibility is discussed, related to the constitution of the subject who commits an offense and of the subjects that produce these speeches, as well as the impact that these speeches have on societies marked by social exclusion.
