    El evidence-based sentencing (EBS) es una denominación reciente para una pretensión que tiene hondas raíces en el Derecho penal: aplicar las penas más adecuadas al nivel de riesgo de reinciden-cia que presenta cada condenado para intentar reducir ese riesgo al mínimo posible. Esta versión moderna de la prevención especial se inserta en el enfoque más amplio de las «políticas públicas basadas en la evidencia». Considera que la mejor evidencia existente para el control de la reinci-dencia son las modernas herramientas de valoración estructurada del riesgo, y aduce ser capaz de lograr varios objetivos a la vez: reducir la reincidencia, mantener un elevado nivel de seguridad ciudadana, hacer un uso más eficiente de los recursos públicos y alejar la política criminal de luchas ideológicas al fundamentarla en evidencia científica objetiva. De los muchos problemas que suscita el EBS, este trabajo analiza solo uno: la calidad de la evidencia científica en que se basa, y los datos disponibles sobre en qué medida alcanza (o no) los objetivos que pretende

    Evidence-based sentencing (EBS) is a recent name for a claim that has deep roots in criminal law: to apply the sentence that is most appropriate to the risk of recidivism posed by each of-fender, in order to reduce this risk as much as possible. This modern version of special preven-tion inserts itself in the broader approach of the so-called «evidence-based public policies». It considers that the best existing evidence for reducing recidivism are modern structured risk assessment tools, and it claims to be able to achieve several objectives at the same time: reduce recidivism, maintain a high level of public safety, make a more efficient use of public resources, and move criminal policy away from ideological struggles by basing it on the objective knowl-edge provided by the best available scientific evidence. Of the many problems that surround EBS, this work focuses only on one: the quality of the scientific evidence on which it is based, and the available data on the extent to which it achieves (or not) its intended objectives
