La autopuesta en peligro de la víctima como una conducta típica objetiva en el Ecuador.

Abstract

This article will examine the concept of self-endangerment, a principle in legal theory that determines the limitation of criminal imputation in cases where responsibility for the consequences of a harmful event is attributed to the victim of the crime. It occurs when the victim exposes themselves through a particular action to an impermissible risk and danger that infringes upon their legal rights. Consequently, the victim’s behavior and its implications within victimology will be studied. The starting point will be the definition of the elements that constitute the concept of “self-endangerment” to establish the moment when an action creates a risk to the victim’s interests. Furthermore, a critical analysis of actions undertaken by the victim at their own risk will be conducted, framed within the theory of objective imputation and the principle of self-responsibility.
