Ecuador Teresa Teresa Universidad Regional Autónoma de Los Andes. Babahoyo. Ecuador Katherine T. Troya .. Universidad Regional Autónoma de Los Andes. Puyo. Ecuador Erick M. Vásquez Llerena Due to the increase in violence in Ecuador involving juvenile offenders, an analysis of the situation is proposed from a neutrosophic approach to address the violation of due process in adolescents in Ecuador, highlighting the importance of considering the complexities and ambiguities of the juvenile penal system. Challenges are identified and classified through the PESTEL technique related to legal deficiencies, economic constraints, and socio-environmental factors contributing to juvenile delinquency, which are processed hermeneutically in a TOPSIS that uses single-valued neutrosophic numbers. The processing's main outcome is the influence of legal and economic aspects, thus the need to promote legal reforms, strengthen institutional capacities, invest in preventive programs, and support social reintegration and the responsible use of information technologies. The conclusions emphasize the importance of a comprehensive and coordinated approach to improve juvenile justice in Ecuador, ensuring respect for due process and the rights of adolescents. 2024 2024 258 271 10.54216/IJNS.230420 https://www.americaspg.com/articleinfo/21/show/2594
