Resumen
[ES] El presente trabajo trata sobre los trabajos en beneficio de la comunidad como sanción
criminal recogida en el Código Penal. El trabajo comunitario como pena llegó a la legislación
española de la mano del Código Penal de la democracia en 1995, sin embargo, veinte años
después de su implantación todavía no ha conseguido consolidarse como instrumento
punitivo. Se analizarán aspectos tales como su fundamentación, las diversas sinergias
positivas que pueden redundar en los objetivos resocializadores del reo, la necesidad de
consolidación como alternativa a las penas privativas de libertad, funciones que cumple en el
ordenamiento jurídico, así como su contenido legal y la ejecución de la pena, con especial
referencia a las situaciones de incumplimiento de la condena.
