Reconstrução do sistema de justiça criminal e reforma política medidas para o fim do “narcoestado brasileiro”

Abstract

This study aimed to identify the reasons and consequences arising from the prevalence of crime in the Brazilian territory, especially in areas of higher incidence, known as "black spots". Some tools to combat the growth of crime in general were presented, as well as public policies that can be implemented to keep society away from the so-called "monopoly of fear". Moreover, it was found that, as often reported by the media and government communication agencies, there are situations in which authorities and/or powerful people, both financially and politically, are involved in criminal activities, notably in crimes against the public administration, such as passive corruption, typified in Article 317 of the Penal Code, and money laundering, provided for in Law No. 9.613/1998. Public security experts indicate that these crimes are directly or indirectly linked to the growth of criminal factions, a situation that contributes to the increase of serious crimes such as homicide and drug trafficking, as well as generating impunity for all involved, perpetuating the vicious cycle of crime. However, the scope of this study was not limited to identifying the origin of this problem, but also sought to present suggestions to combat what some scholars call the "Brazilian NarcoState" and, thus, achieve the virtuous cycle, moving away the dominion of criminality. The deductive method and the bibliographical review were used in the research, although there is a scarcity of studies on the subject in question.
