O país do medo: como o sensacionalismo midiático e o atual cenário político contribuem para o surgimento do Estado de Tolerância Zero.

Abstract

This study is based on a parallel between the exposition of Criminal Law by the media, which cooperates to establish a State of Insecurity, and the resurgence of the Zero Tolerance Policy. It begins with an analysis of how the crisis of the State has led the population to surrender to the fear of violence and to divide into groups that isolate the enemy groups for their security. Then, a study will be made of the concept of Criminal Law of the Enemy, under the focus of the doctrine Günther Jakobs, and the Policy of Zero Tolerance applied in New York in the 1990s. The research aims to demonstrate that application of Criminal Law as Primeval response to crime goes against constitutional guarantees.
