dc.description.abstract | This dissertation has as its theme the installation of banks of genetic profiles in Brazil by Law 12.654 of 2012, changing the legislation about criminal identification and criminal enforcement of the law to allow the use of genetic technology identification in criminal prosecution. In postmodern society and post Welfare State, progress through revolution scientific technical contextualize the emergence of the theoretical model of Risk Sociaty, of Ulrich Beck . Legally, one can say that this model corresponds to a so-called Risk Penal Law. Under the legitimizing foundation to combat the risks of post modernity and safety promotion, a speach of fear permeates society and the law, forging the emergence of a process of expansion of criminal law driven by media representation of social insecurity about crime. In this context, as a tool for criminal identification, DNA evidence emerges as an indispensable technology in countering crime, culminating in Brazil, with the approval of Law 12,543 / 2012. With the installation of banks of genetic profiles as a starting point, will look up to verify the concrete applicability and effectiveness of the law establishing, assessing to what extent we can insert it as another way to serve the symbolic Criminal Law, mechanism more about social control than the so longed for and propagated crime reduction. Therefore, we study the risk society, and the sprawl of the Criminal Law and the legal rights that he mentored, evaluated in terms that the discourse of fear, insecurity, characteristic of the risk society contribute to the issue of law symbolic efficiency. | pt_BR |
