AS PENAS PREVISTAS NO CÓDIGO PENAL BRASILEIRO E A REINCIDÊNCIA CRIMINAL

Abstract

This study will address the possibilities of penalties provided for in the Brazilian legal system and the causes of criminal recidivism, and the precariousness of the Brazilian prison system. The main objective of this work is to carry out a detailed analysis of how public policies are flawed, and with that, I contribute to the increase in recidivism. As a way to reach the objective, the dialectical methodology was used, in which it will make a comparative parallel between the norms that make up the national legal system and the reality experienced by inmates within penitentiaries, emphasizing that this experience contributes to recidivism. The research technique adopted in this work is the bibliographical research, which makes use of doctrines, national legislation, jurisprudence and reports, in order to reveal the main points of the presented theme. Finally, the beginning of the analysis of the theme was given by the rates of criminal recidivism and its causes.
