Application of comprehensive reparation mechanisms in the criminal justice system of Ecuador.

Abstract

The research focuses on the applicability of comprehensive reparation mechanisms in Ecuadorian criminal justice. Comprehensive reparation is a state duty and a right of crime victims to amend the negative consequences of crimes. The objective of the work is to analyze the comprehensive reparation mechanisms in Ecuadorian legislation, which are divided into five measures: restitution, compensation, satisfaction, rehabilitation and guarantees of non-repetition. The methodology is qualitative and descriptive. The results suggest that these mechanisms are not applied efficiently, which violates the rights of victims in crime cases.
