ESTUDIO COMPARATIVO DE LOS TRATADOS INTERNACIONALES Y LA NORMATIVA NACIONAL PARA LA REHABILITACIÓN SOCIAL EN EL ECUADOR

Abstract

In this research, a comparison of the laws and systems of social rehabilitation of several countries in Latin America was carried out with the aim of comparing the theoretical and legal aspects and determining if there are effective social rehabilitation policies in these countries and if these differ significantly from the laws and systems of Ecuador through a document analysis using the inductive method with a qualitative approach, collecting the main characteristics of social rehabilitation of different countries in Latin America: Ecuador, El Salvador, Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia and Uruguay; and in turn a compilation of the key theories and concepts that serve as a basis for the analysis and discussion of the results. Therefore, the research showed that the laws of social rehabilitation for people deprived of freedom in the studied countries have significant differences in terms of the approaches and structures used to address the topic. Ecuador has an approach based on human rights, while Argentina and Uruguay promote crime prevention through rehabilitation programs. Chile and the Salvador seek to improve access to education and vocational training to reduce recidivism. Colombia is committed to rehabilitation through medical treatment, occupational therapy, vocational training and job opportunities. Finally, Brazil has implemented a policy to promote the reintegration of prisoners into society through educational programs, job support and training.
