Serial Killer: Uma análise da eficácia dos meios de execução da pena no Brasil

Abstract

This monograph seeks to analyze the effectiveness of the means of executing the sentence of a Serial Killer in Brazil. Through the analysis of publications, studies, sentences and concrete cases, it was defined what characterizes a serial killer, its diagnosis in the eyes of psychiatry and its imputability. In terms of crimes, the heinous nature of the crimes of this agent and the legal consequences applicable at the time of fixing the sentence were found. With regard to the execution of sentences, it was concluded that Brazil has means of executing the sentence related to retribution for the illicit crimes and the dangerousness of these murderers. However, the available means of execution of the penalty are not shown to be effective in relation to special prevention, which makes up the ends of the penalty. This is due to not considering the particularities of this type of criminal.
