Abstract(s)
O fenômeno do populismo penal emerge como uma estratégia política que explora o medo da criminalidade e o sentimento de insegurança afim de legitimar medidas de alto grau repressivo e ampliar o alcance da tutela penal. Na política criminal contemporânea, o populismo penal é incorporado pelos meios de comunicação, os quais atuam como um instrumento essencial para a disseminação do discurso punitivo. O presente estudo tem como objetivo analisar os impactos dessa relação, destacando como a narrativa populista, promovida por discursos midiáticos sensacionalistas, contribuem para uma percepção distorcida da sociedade frente a realidade criminal. Esse cenário alimenta uma política criminal pautada no punitivismo e na retribuição, afastando-se cada dia mais dos ideais que orientam o sistema penal em um Estado Democrático de Direito. As consequências dessa abordagem incluem o aumento da seletividade penal e da cultura punitiva, bem como a erosão de direitos e garantias fundamentais em nome de um suposto eficientismo na luta contra a criminalidade.
The phenomenon of penal populism emerges as a political strategy that exploits the fear of crime and the feeling of insecurity in order to legitimize highly repressive measures and expand the scope of criminal protection. In contemporary criminal policy, penal populism is incorporated by the media, which acts as an essential instrument for the dissemination of punitive discourse. This study aims to analyze the impacts of this relationship, highlighting how the populist narrative, promoted through sensationalist media discourse, contributes to a distorted perception of society regarding criminal reality. This scenario fosters a criminal policy based on punitivism and retribution, increasingly distancing itself from the ideals that guide the penal system in a Democratic State of Law. The consequences of this approach include an increase in criminal selectivity and a punitive culture, as well as the erosion of fundamental rights and guarantees in the name of supposed efficiency in the fight against crime.
