Abstract

The general objective of the research was to legally analyze mediation as a new model of restorative justice in the Ecuadorian penal system. The present research used the quantitative method which produces descriptive data, originating from data collection. In addition, the inductive-deductive method was applied. The analytical-synthetic method was also used, by means of which a whole is broken down into parts, extracting qualities and components. It is concluded that penal mediation is a tool based on the principles of restorative justice, whose objective is that the offender takes responsibility for what he/she has done, is aware of the consequences and there is a meeting in which he/she can ask forgiveness to the victim, reaching an agreement to repair the damage.
