Resumen
La criminalidad y violencia son problemas que mantienen en zozobra a la sociedad
ecuatoriana. Durante los últimos años se ha registrado un aumento significativo en los índices de
criminalidad, sin embargo, paralelamente, la sociedad ecuatoriana ha sido y es testigo de las
impunidades cometidas en contra de los miembros de la fuerza policial por parte de los servidores
de justicia, quienes han condenado el actuar policial. A raíz de esta circunstancia, en la actualidad
entró en vigencia la Ley Orgánica sobre el Uso Progresivo, Adecuado y Proporcional de la Fuerza,
conocida como Ley Orgánica que regula el Uso Legítimo de la Fuerza por lo cual el objetivo de la
presente investigación es analizar el alcance de la Legítima Defensa como eximente de la
responsabilidad penal a partir de esta Ley. Como resultado de este estudio, se determinó la
necesidad de desarrollar normativa que contemple un alcance más amplio de la Legitima Defensa
en la normativa ecuatoriana.
