Abstract
This research was conducted with the aim of analyzing the effectiveness of the implementation of Ecuadorian regulations for crime scene preservation and their impact on the integrity and validity of the collected forensic evidence. A qualitative design was employed, using an exhaustive literature review of Ecuadorian regulations and international protocols related to the collection and handling of evidence. The study focused on the context of Ecuador, a country with a robust regulatory framework but significant challenges in its practical application.
The intervention involved analyzing the current regulations, comparing them with international standards, and identifying operational and structural barriers that hinder their effective implementation, as well as comparing findings with research conducted in other countries. The results indicated that the lack of resources, insufficient training of justice operators, and the involvement of unauthorized individuals at crime scenes compromise the proper preservation of evidence, affecting the reliability of investigations.
Therefore, the research demonstrated that, despite having a solid legal framework, the effectiveness of the regulations depends on rigorous implementation and overcoming operational obstacles such as resource limitations and the need for specialized training in rural areas to ensure the validity of evidence in judicial processes.
