Abstract

The general objective of the research was to legally analyse the participation and authorship of children and adolescents in criminal gangs, Esmeraldas, Ecuador. This research used the quantitative method, which produces descriptive data, originating from data collection. It was supported by a documentary-bibliographic review. In addition, the inductive-deductive method was used. The analytical-synthetic method was also used. A survey was applied to 30 people. It is concluded that the vulnerability of the rights of children and adolescents who participate in and form part of criminal gangs is evident. On the other hand, the government and society must contribute to the reduction of crime and insecurity at the provincial and national level, by supporting the most vulnerable sectors in the establishment of social inclusion programmes.
