Abstract

This article was carried out, on a day-to-day basis, mainly in the field of security, as is the case of the National Police, which are in charge of verifying the requirements that must be met for the carrying or possession of weapons, whether they are of fire or white, however, there is a legal vacuum in the Ecuadorian criminal legislation in relation to the carrying and possession of white weapons that is the central point of the development of the investigative work, since it is essential that it is typified in the Organic Code Comprehensive Penal, the prohibition of the carrying of illegal bladed weapons, therefore, the objective of this work was that the prohibition of the carrying of bladed weapons should be typified in our criminal legislation, since many of the robberies committed by criminals,  They execute them with white weapons. The methods applied in this research work are inductive-deductive in dealing with the problem from the general to the specific, giving way to the data in a certain valid way, to reach a deduction. In addition, the analytical-synthetic method was applied in the analysis of the consequences of the possession and use of knives, which results in a high rate in the field of criminality, so it is necessary that the Ecuadorian criminal legislation typifies the Prohibition of possession and carrying of bladed weapons.
