A descriminalização dos crimes contra a honra

Abstract

This work has purpose to defend the decriminalization of crimes which have as object the honor. Thus, we analyzed the formation of the legal relationship and ways to exercise jurisdiction. Although the honor is well protected by criminal law, the civil law, was this last that has created the best way to protect the honor, since he is able to repair all the damage. The imposition of a criminal sanction would be unnecessary as this would bring more harm than good to the inmates. The conclusions that come from this work were based on four fundamentals: an empirical analysis demonstrating the inefficiency of the criminal law in protecting the honor, the study of trends in crime policy opt for a minimal criminal law, the need to adopt a penal type gear unit in accordance with the teachings of Eugene Raúl Zaffaroni, and finally, the need to remove any the ordering rule whose purpose is merely symbolic.
