Resumen. Este estudio analiza la tendencia a la despenalización en Vietnam
en el contexto de la reforma judicial y de la construcción de un Estado de derecho
socialista. Examina los fundamentos teóricos, la relevancia práctica y el valor políti-
co-criminal del paso de respuestas penales a mecanismos administrativos, civiles y
educativos. La investigación utiliza métodos jurídicos tradicionales combinados con
derecho comparado y análisis de políticas. Los datos provienen del Código Penal, de
informes ociales de la Fiscalía Suprema Popular y del Ministerio de Seguridad Públi-
ca, así como de estudios criminológicos internacionales. Los resultados muestran que
la despenalización implica un cambio fundamental en la política criminal vietnamita,
orientado a valores humanitarios, al uso eciente de recursos y al fortalecimiento
del control social mediante medidas preventivas, educativas y de rehabilitación. No
obstante, persisten desafíos en la delimitación entre conductas socialmente peligrosas
y conductas desviadas, además de limitaciones en la capacidad institucional y en la
coherencia del sistema jurídico. El artículo sostiene que la despenalización no es solo
un ajuste legislativo, sino también una herramienta estratégica para modernizar la
gobernanza social, que exige el perfeccionamiento continuo de la legislación y el for-
talecimiento de la aplicación durante la actual reforma judicial.
Palabras clave: Criminología moderna, despenalización, política penal, reforma judicial y
estado de derecho vietnamita.
