Reparatory agreements in the Ecuadorian criminal process

Abstract

The purpose of this book is to present reparatory agreements as an extremely important and beneficial mechanism, taking into consideration that the fundamental objective of the Law is none other than to provide justice, which can be achieved through the reparation of a damage, rather than the imprisonment of the person who caused it, a situation that is not directly useful for the affected party. For this reason we analyze the social legal problems in which several offenders are immersed, who have reached the application of reparatory agreements, in order not to comply with the penalties imposed for each case as determined by the Comprehensive Organic Penal Code known as COIP, being contrary to the determination or application of a custodial sentence based on the proportionality of the offenses committed.
