El control social de los delitos en Ecuador: Referencia especial a la parroquial rural de El Quinche

Abstract

This research addresses the issue of social control in Ecuador, making special reference to El Quinche Rural Parish. Social control is a matter that somehow has not been sufficiently addressed by criminological doctrine, which has led to a marked imbalance between the means of formal and informal social control in which highlights that the country has dedicated countless resources to strengthen the criminal justice system that seeks to investigate, prosecute, prosecute crimes and execute sentences, which is a formal repressive, punitive, coercive and institutionalized social control apparatus While it has neglected the informal social control environment that, although it is more spontaneous and voluntary, requires attention and persuasive work through the media, school, family, community and also requires material resources and financial resources and the participation of specialists such as social workers so that they can draw up and implement a policy criminal ethics based on strategies of socialization and crime prevention rather than repression.
