La ineficacia de las medidas socioeducativas para los menores infractores dentro del derecho penal ecuatoriano.

Abstract

The present work develops the current problem existing within the regulations established within the Code of Childhood and Adolescence with reference to the penal sanctions and socio-educational measures that are granted to minors who commit criminal offenses, and how the current measures are not sufficient to reform the minor and repair the damage caused. It is developed through the current situation within the Ecuadorian society and how this affects in a greater way the environment of low-income minors who commit crimes out of necessity or because it is the only thing they know. Faced with this, the state as a precursor and protector of the rights and guarantees of minors should toughen the current measures and sanctions, to achieve a comprehensive and total reform of minors who commit crimes, and to consider that there are real consequences for their actions. Along with a due follow-up covering a psychological treatment that allows them to reintegrate into society and become a good citizen. Within this work we seek to develop a necessary analysis to present the proposal to the problem, a legal analysis not only of local legislation, but also of international human rights and foreign countries that have presented similar approaches to large selectivity indexes as Ecuador presents in order to improve the current social situation of minors and the ineffectiveness of socio-educational measures.
