The document analyzes data collected through surveys in the educational system and its relationship with crime in Ecuador. It compares educational aspects between Finland, New Zealand, and Ecuador, highlighting that the state budget does not seem to be decisive in the educational differences between the countries. The surveys examine prison duration, preschool, early, primary, secondary, and university education, as well as family criminal backgrounds. The majorities of respondents have committed serious crimes and will spend more than three years in prison, suggesting that educational programs in prison could facilitate social reintegration. Additionally, it addresses the influence of early education on crime prevention and discusses the importance of completing educational levels to reduce criminal recidivism. The results also reveal data on family backgrounds, friends with criminal histories, and the ethnic identification of the respondents.
