El presente trabajo analiza la polémica existente en el ámbito penal en torno a la creación de un delito de acoso callejero. En un primer momento, se estudia el fenómeno en sí, sus repercusiones victimológicas y los problemas que plantea la falta de regulación penal al respecto, en el ámbito de la Comunidad Europea y en España. A continuación, ante una eventual reforma del sistema jurídico español, se comentan las posibilidades que ofrece el Derecho comparado belga y francés, países cuyos Códigos penales han sido reformados para sancionar este fenómeno. Ambas iniciativas, aunque bienintencionadas, corren el riesgo de convertirse en papel mojado.This paper analyses the controversy over the phenomenon of street harassment under a legal perspective. Firstly, this paper studies the phenomenon itself, its impact on the victims and the problems caused by the lack of Spanish and European penal regulation. Secondly, considering a possible Spanish penal system reform, we discuss the options that Belgian and French comparative Law offers to tackle street harassment. These two countries have reformed their Penal Codes to sanction this phenomenon. Both initiatives, though well-intentioned, run the risk of becoming waste paper.
