Uma análise crítica sobre a redução da maioridade penal sob a ótica atual da sociedade brasileira

Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to deal with the reduction of the criminal majority in Brazil. It is questioned the constitutionality of a law that can reduce the minimum age of criminal responsibility, in front of our Rigid Constitution, which has among others the principle of the integral protection of the minor, which is pointed out by many as a stony clause. On the other hand, the subject becomes more relevant considering that today there are adolescents who commit crimes of the highest severity, such as homicide, rape, among others, in this way, much of society understands that it is necessary that these young people be punished by Crimes they have committed, since, as they have the capacity to practice crimes, they must have to answer for them, serving as an example for others not to commit the same kind of conduct. In this way, this is the theme that we will be working on.
