The constitutional resocialization principle and its manifestation in the parole institution

Abstract

This paper seeks to address the meaning of the concept of resocialization, and the spirit that Spanish law grants, paying attention to a more advanced doctrinal and jurisprudential approach. In addition, probation, as an eminently resocializing institution will be given special attention to its origins, legal nature and grant conditions, elements which have experienced changes after the recent publication of the Organic Law 1/2015, 30 March, amending the Criminal Code.
