Análise do princípio da insignificância e seus limites no direito penal brasileiro

Abstract

These piece studies the application of de minimis doctrine in Brazilian criminal law and what are the limits of it´s incidence on specific cases. The study consists in analyzing jurisprudence and case law. Through theoretical research and broad bibliographical material (with vast research on books, articles and websites), and using deductive method, this work tries to understand the limits imposed to the use of de minimis doctrine, considering the relativity of the word “insignificance” and the need to make court decision homogeneous and constant. It was also studied the definition of the principle of de minimis doctrine and it´s legal effects, as well as the debates and controversies surrounding the topic.
