The ECUADORIAN CRIMINAL PROCESS: tension between social control and due process

The article aims to present the historical context of each of the procedural models, which have built procedural institutions that have been transformed and others completely eliminated. Those that have managed to transform have been the product of the tension between freedom and security, punitive power and freedom; investigation and human rights. This tension has caused procedural systems to evolve. Human rights will always be important in the face of security and coercion. Their protection must always be guaranteed by the State, but as can be seen in the text, they have become more flexible and what we have is that they have yielded to security and the search for investigation of the facts.
