La Reinserción social en Quintana Roo: ¿Mito o Realidad? Un Análisis desde los Derechos Humanos y la Criminología Crítica

This documentary research examines social reintegration in the state of Quintana Roo from a criminological and human rights perspective, aiming to determine whether it functions as an effective public policy or remains a legal fiction. Using a qualitative approach and thematic analysis of 20 documentary sources—including official reports, academic theses, current legislation, and peer-reviewed studies—this study identifies structural barriers and institutional gaps that hinder the reintegration of formerly incarcerated individuals. The findings reveal that despite the constitutional mandate recognizing reintegration as the purpose of incarceration (Article 18), there are serious implementation deficits: lack of post-penitentiary programs, insufficient training of personnel, weak inter-institutional coordination, and persistent social stigma. Special attention is paid to vulnerable groups such as women and adolescents, for whom exclusion is compounded by gender, age, and socioeconomic factors. The analysis concludes that in Quintana Roo, social reintegration remains more of an institutional myth than a restorative policy. To address this, the study recommends a paradigmatic shift—from a punitive system to one that is restorative, intersectional, and territorially grounded.
