ABSTRACT
The
criminal justice system in Mexico changed radically as a result of a
constitutional reform in 2008, in which the inquisitorial criminal process was
modified to an accusatory one. This gave rise to a series of legislative reforms to
adapt it to the new trends of the law, such as respect for the human rights of
the parties involved in the process, based on a criminal guarantee where the
penalty must be the last reason for the state to impose it. It also establishes other mechanisms to solve
the conflict without the need to arrive a judicial resolution. All this with a purpose:
prompt and expeditious justice, but what happens in reality, does the
enforcement of this system present problems in Mexico? This is a matter for
reflection and debate, but above all for the contribution of ideas to make
effective the desire of society: justice.
