Típico, ilícito e culpável: a criminalização de corpos indesejáveis na região central do Rio de Janeiro entre as décadas de 1910 e 1920

Abstract

This work has the central hypothesis that the process of criminalization of the marginalized population in the central region of the Capital of the First Republic is the result of a set of measures that express the desire, on the part of the Brazilian elite, to create a society according to their interests. Based on this idea, in its broadest sense, the text aim to expose understanding of how the legal field will contribute to this objective, mainly in compliance with chapter XIII of the 1890 penal code. Following this line of reasoning, I propose a debate on changes in the criminal system Brazilian, the incorporation of surveillance and control in the capital of the republic. Furthermore, the text aim to understand the action of the police in the capital of the Republic in the detention of marginalized people, called undesirable bodies, and in the maintenance of this predetermined order. Finally, I seek to understand how this entire process relates to the post-abolition period, with the advent of liberalism and republicanism.
