Victimology and judicialized public policies. A study on complex victims of the Colombian armed conflict

This article identifies victimological typologies typical of the Colombian internal armed conflict, which denote the double condition of victim-victims or vice versa victims-victimized. These have been classed throughout this research as 'complex victims', whose historical existence was unveiled from precursor victimology, which is used in the final part of the text to demonstrate that the exclusion of these victims from public policies of attention, assistance and reparation ignores the scientific contributions of victimology and the real asymmetry that occurred in the Colombian conflict. Finally, it is pointed out how these policies do not prevent victimization or contribute to guaranteeing measures of non-repetition, but, on the contrary, motivate the polarization of the armed actors into irreconcilable sides.
