A punibilidade do serial killer frente ao sistema jurídico brasileiro.

Abstract

The cases involving serial killers in Brazilian territory, although few compared to those occurring in more developed foreign countries, highlight the fragility of the legal mechanism in individualizing and legally punishing these individuals, both in past occasions and in possible future events. The fundamental scope of this course conclusion work is to analyze and highlight the fragility of the punishability and in-dividualization provisions of these serial killers, considering the high degree of dan-ger of these individuals for the social sphere and other convicts. The conclusive rese-arch is justified by its thematic relevance and by involving one of the state founda-tions, namely, public security, intrinsic to the condition of existence and collective integrity. For this, bibliographical research was used, based on academic and scienti-fic materials, doctrines and electronic websites. As for the approach, qualitative-quantitative research was used, presenting expository data about the number of vic-tims, criminal dosimetry, criteria and scales used in the human sciences. Furthermo-re, when dealing with the quantitative part, some elements inherent to the very per-sonal condition of such criminal agents were taken into consideration. Through this research, legislative and legal deficits were highlighted when dealing with a real and complex figure known as a serial killer. From this, it is examined which measures are most effective to apply to these individuals, given the lack of specific legal provisi-ons.
