The punitive basis for ordering preventive detention as a personal precautionary measure
Abstract
The overall objective of the research was to analyze the punitive basis for ordering pretrial detention as a personal precautionary measure. This research was conducted using a quantitative approach with a descriptive methodology and a non-experimental design, which was supported by documentary and bibliographic analysis. It was based on a methodical, rigorous, and in-depth exploration of documentary material from scientific works on the subject under study. A questionnaire was also used, which was administered to 13 judges from the Criminal Judicial Unit based in the canton of Santo Domingo. It is concluded that pretrial detention should be applied exclusively when it is effectively demonstrated that other personal precautionary measures are insufficient to guarantee the success of the criminal proceedings and the eventual enforcement of the sentence in the event of a guilty verdict; otherwise, it is rendered meaningless.
