Preferencias académicas de los estudiantes de la Carrera de Derecho y su vinculación con los Objetivos de Desarrollo Sostenible (ODS) a través del estudio de sentencia

Abstract

Abstract: The focus of this thesis study is on three aspects of the legal norms of the Ecuadorian State: the non-prescription of sexual crimes against children and adolescents when the perpetrator is a teenager, the retroactivity of these norms, and socio-educational measures. It is worth mentioning that in 2017, a popular consultation was held in which one of the questions addressed the non-prescription of sexual crimes. This particular aspect requires analysis and study from various legal perspectives to ensure respect for the constitutional Human Rights norms of the victims of these crimes, with special attention to minors, suggesting that these norms should be applied retroactively. Before analyzing the relevant constitutional principles, it is necessary to clarify that sexual assault crimes, regardless of the subject or the timing, must be justified due to their nature since in many cases, the perpetrator is a family member, a member of an educational institution, or a religious leader. Therefore, it is argued that current complaints about these crimes should be considered retroactively; similarly, the effectiveness of socio-educational measures for juvenile offenders is questioned, arguing that these should not exist as the rehabilitation and social inclusion of these minors is put into doubt when such measures are implemented in the family environment.
