La figura jurídica del acoso escolar dentro del código orgánico integral penal

Abstract

Violence against children and adolescents is a current issue in our environment, especially in the lives of adolescents; bullying is a type of violence that occurs within schools and is generally committed among adolescents themselves. To protect the rights of adolescents, Ecuadorian law has created specific rules that regulate and punish this type of conduct, which is why it has established bullying as an infringement. Unfortunately, many times, the consequences of these acts are of such magnitude that they even threaten the life of the person who suffer them. Because of the above, the question arises as to whether or not bullying should be considered an infringement or a crime. For this reason, this paper will address this question to determine how bullying should be regulated and how it should be punished to protect the rights of adolescents.
