Necropolítica e seletividade penal: a influência dos estereótipos, dos preconceitos e das teorias do senso comum na elaboração e aplicação da lei penal e a vida como elemento político por excelência

Abstract

This monographic work examines the relationship between the death policy adopted by contemporary States through their official bodies of coercion and control and penal selectivity, committing to answering, among many, the following question: does the State have the legitimacy to kill in favor of a speech of order? Furthermore, this dissertation strives to demonstrate, through bibliographical and documentary research, how life, throughout history, has become a political element par excellence. Finally, considerations will be made regarding what was exposed in the body of the dissertation, to show that only a radical change in the way in which the law is exercised as an instrument of legitimization of the mode of production and socio-political structures, can institute, based on a critical view of criminal law and criminal policy as a whole, measures to repair and promote equality between those who are currently oppressed.
