Justiça e reparação: uma nova abordagem para enfrentamento dos crimeis raciais e microviolências correlatas na Universidade Federal de Uberlândia

Abstract

This research was part of the theoretical analysis and discussion of the possibilities of applying Restorative Justice practices, seeking to deconstruct assumptions about crime and justice. A theoretical construction was carried out aiming at the implementation of this consensual conflict resolution tool within the scope of the Federal University of Uberlândia. The interest of the research was to articulate the practice in situations of racial crimes or discriminatory behaviors of lesser impact that systematically reinforce inequalities between subjects, being one of the main reasons for tension and interpersonal conflicts in the institution. The theoretical path articulated the bibliographic reference compared with the practice of institutional projects recognized by the National Council of Justice, demonstrating the viability of Restorative Justice in facing structural racism, as a sociological and political concept that explains phenomena or social facts of an institutional nature that permeate the technical and ideological instruments of the institutions. An analysis will be made of the university's institutional policies to combat racial discrimination and its actions to implement these measures. In the field, sessions promoted by the Legal Practice and Restorative Practice Groups were monitored, and data were collected from municipal institutions, through information requests, to map the process of handling complaints. This survey showed that the institutions that responded to the request need the support of other instances for the purposes of judicialization and do not consider any type of alternative mechanism, which would avoid possible consequences of the problem, such as aggravation of emotional harm and recidivism. It is evident that the institutions, which are considered accessible and democratic in the defense of constitutional rights, are structured to be ineffective. Its numerous limitations and impossibilities make it difficult to record notitiacriminis news to proceed with the proper investigation to improve the system itself, access to adequate information, and even greater effectiveness in the performance. There is a manifestation of structural and institutionalized racism.
