This thesis intends to analyze the way how spreads terror and fear in a risk and complexity society. In this sense to search to determinate the characteristics of contemporary society and it`s correlations with the State (central elemental of the Criminal Law) and how it regulates and reacts to fear.Attempts to show the causes of the development of a culture of fear by paradigmatic examples where it includes Brazil.Still, analyzes the absortion of the Law System from this ambiency of enemies. Establish communication as the background for the perception of the media`s role in fear`s maintenance as part of the social system and therefore of the terrorism as a new form of fear.Check the mode of regulation internationally established for the fight against terrorism.Study the case of the First Capital Comand, example of how the surrounding reality, through communication, is able to create new ways of fear within institution made to fight against it. The research methodology is based in the principles of Niklas Luhmann social system theory, specifically in two categories: risk and communication.The results shows that in Brazil the so-called terrorism is feeded from and within the social institutions designed to combat it. Thus, emerge a very particular way of communication, transmuted from external concepts and adapted to Brazilian reality on the basis of self-creative characteristic of social systems.
