O sistema penal brasileiro contemporâneo : a pobreza no banco dos réus

Abstract

This work aims to demonstrate the selectivity of the Brazilian penal system from the profile analysis of individuals that are achieved by the apparatus of state repression. Mister alluded to the theoretical basis is interdisciplinary, since the complexity of the resents the study research over an area of knowledge in order to establish premises for better understanding of poverty criminalization phenomenon. The building work is erected from the dichotomy the criminal justice system and poverty, which are apparently sealed epistemological categories with each other, which is not interrelated, and thus can be considered separately, but, however, one of them, poverty, will be the foundation of another. This much, "poverty", as suggested by the title of this work transcends its own literal meaning, and sits figuratively to define the kind of poverty from which it will work, that is, the word here depicts the personification of poverty. Thus, capitalism, especially in its neoliberal feature, given the need for a mechanism to control their socioeconomic distortions in advance labels, label and directs the targets that will be submitted to his wicked punitive system.
