Resumo:
Feelings like fear and insecurity are the ones that grow the most in the actual society
according to the startling criminality levels that are spreading between the most
distincts groups and social classes. It's known that criminality and violence are
phenomenona inherent to the human being, however, they have never reached the
nowadays thresholds glimmered with so much intensity, therefore, what is tried to
avoid is that their levels reach an unsustainable situation, at the point to prevent
individuals from exercising Constitutional guarantees such as studying, working,
having fun, etc. It is true that an inefficient State and without programs and coherent
public security politics, contributes to increase the sensation of injustice and impunity,
which is, perhaps, the main cause of violence. In the Judgment of illicits, truth
verification and judge's conviction, the proof is the resource used with the purpose of
reconstruction of t the facts investigated, trying to approach as close as possible to
the reality of the facts that are being investigated at the proceeding.Among the
means of proof admitted in the penal procedure there is the testimonial proof as a
great importance in the elucidation of the criminal offenses. On the 60's appeared in
the United States a witness protection program called "Witsec", in charge of the "U.S.
Marshals Service", in order to diminish impunity and disassemble organized
crime.This program was created to give protection to the witness, victims and
collaborators defendants who helped to disassemble of criminal groups, being
implemented in many others countries. In Brazil a program in this sense only
appeared in 1998, at the initiative of an non-governmental organization in the State of
Pernambuco, and after the initial success the State Government resolved to create
the "Provita" (State Program of Testimonial Protection), coordinated by nongovernamental organization (NOGs), with the support of the State Government.When
it emerged, the Provita obtained very substantial results and availing itself the idea,
the Federal Government, through the Special Secretary on Human Rights (SEDH),
the Justice Ministry, decided to implement it in others States of the Federation.In the
technical procedure will be use the bibliographic research and analysis of books,
scientific productions, legislation, and jurisprudence about the theme. In this way, is
aim to demonstrate, without exhausting the questions on the theme, the
ineffectiveness of the victim protection and the witness on the part of the Brazilian
state
