Section 365 bis of the Chilean Criminal Code is one of the latest manifestations of the law and order policy in our Criminal Justice System. In this occasion, it has mainly affected the principle of legality and its correspondence with social reality. A criminal justice lawmaker non-familiarized with social reality can create a lack of legal certainty and, consequently, a breach of the lex stricta mandate. A paradigmaticlesample of this is the typical description made of section 365 bis and its interpretation by most criminal courts. This paper seeks, to thelestent possible, to mitigate such manifest irrationality
