Políticas de reinserción social en los Centros de Rehabilitación Social ecuatorianos, en comparación con casos análogos de Benelux

Abstract

The following study is a research work that has aimed to recollect the most relevant aspects regarding Social Reinsertion Politics in Social Rehabilitation Centers in Ecuador, and compare such policies with the ones instituted in Benelux (Belgium, Netherlands and Luxembourg). Social Reinsertion is a systematic process that seeks to correct and eliminate conducts that have lead the individual to commit crimes, whilst aiding them in returning to society and becoming a part of it. In Ecuador, a public policy exists regarding social rehabilitation for the years 2022 -2025, however, in the past years, criminality has risen considerably which signifies that the measurements taken haven’t been optimal. On the other hand, the countries that constitute Benelux, have developed measurements in social reinsertion that seek to improve the life conditions of inmates and eliminate their criminal behaviors and reintegrate them into society. The objective of this research study was to analyze the politics, with the intention of -through previous comparison- determining the optimum model to achieve a dignified life for people inside the criminal system. In order to achieve this, the methodology used was bibliographic research and the study of primary sources. As a result of the research process, it can be said that: the measurements taken in Ecuador aren’t sufficient for an adequate social reinsertion, therefore, it is necessary the formulation of a good criminal policy, structured after a research of the origins of criminality in the country, and to treat prison sentences and preventive prison as a last resource measurement.
