Abstract

Considering that the State's power to punish meets formal limits within the Brazilian legal system, the objective is to identify elements that could be isolated and that would demonstrate the functions of racial prejudice in motivating a punitive selectivity that relativizes the state of innocence and if such phenomenon can be observed in Concórdia/SC. The theoretical framework used is constituted by critical criminology and the guaranteeing theories of Law and Criminal Procedure. Deductive methodology was applied, using the literature review technique in addition to the analytical-descriptive methodology as well as the analysis of possible paradigmatic cases and their analytical comparisons with the guiding principles of criminal proceedings. It is concluded that the data collected demonstrated the overrepresentation of blacks and browns in the prison system, which makes it possible to identify the phenomenon of punitive selectivity in a concrete way. This assignment was accomplished with the aid of the research grant of the State of Santa Catarina - UNIEDU/FUMDES.
