A criminologia crítica na encruzilhada da dominação e transformação social

Abstract

In the present study we discuss the relations between criminology, order, social domination and violence in search of answers through the prism of criminological criticism. Firstly, we reflect on the different perspectives of critical criminology and criminal policy, arguing that such knowledge has different assumptions and that it is essential not to lose sight of such differences. In the sequence, we investigate the current relationship of social classes in the Brazilian society with criminal justice, especially the working-class and the sub-proletariat, in order to resume the discussion on this topic.
