Due to the punitive and penitentiary monopoly in Peru, and in much of the world, States must justify, through a purpose, the damage that the imposition of a penalty causes in the individual. Given this, the Peruvian criminal policy chooses to embrace an eclectic theory, whose greatest importance is found in individual prevention. Nonetheless, despite individual prevention being the core of the accepted theory, this precept does not appear to be properly materialized.This article develops the foundation and problems of the various theories of the punishment, which are presented as an application option for the Peruvian legislator. It also analyses stigmatization, media pressure and excessive deprivation of liberty. Problems that prevent the materialization of individual prevention in Peru.
