Impacto de la implementación de la justicia restaurativa en el régimen penal ecuatoriano

Abstract

Abstract: In Ecuador, the Comprehensive Organic Criminal Code is the governing body for crimes committed in the country, which are generally sanctioned with a punitive approach, with little comprehensive reparation for victims and even less for social reintegration of the offender. From this arises the need to establish restorative justice as an alternative method to the traditional punitive system, which aims to enable the participation of the victim in the comprehensive reparation by the offender, based on community intervention. This will be supported by a documentary analysis of comparative studies and empirical evidence to define its incidence and social impact, focusing on aspects such as the reduction of recidivism, the strengthening of social cohesion, and the satisfaction of the victims.
