Abstract

The general objective of the research was to carry out a legal analysis of the principle of opportunity: referral to criminal mediation for resolution and prosecutorial abstention in criminal proceedings. This research used the quantitative method, which produces descriptive data, originating from data collection. Supported by the documentary-bibliographic review. In addition, the inductive-deductive method was used. The analytical-synthetic method was also used. The survey technique was used to gather information on the problem, through the application of a questionnaire to a sample of 20 participants, ensuring a diversity of profiles and experiences. It is concluded that, from the theoretical foundation, the principle of opportunity and criminal mediation were examined as resolution strategies and restrictions of prosecutors in criminal cases. Likewise, the legal analysis is important to highlight and promote these additional benefits to increase the acceptance and adoption of the criminal process.
