| Resumo: | The criminal justice system has historically represented a fertile field for the interaction between Psychology and Law. In this field, one can observe a series of mechanisms of social control and criminal management of misery which are put into operation daily as a strategy for maintaining the capitalist mode of production and its principles. Different criminological discourses as well as the support of other fields connected to Law, such as Psychology, contribute to imposing criminal practices. Processes of criminalization of poverty, criminal selectivity and mass imprisonment as devices for the classification, confinement and extermination of those considered surplus to capitalism are flagrant. In this scenario, we aimed at investigating the role that Psychology has been assigned and played within Criminal Justice. Therefore, the general objective of this thesis is to analyze the relationship between Criminal Politics and the psychological discourses / practices related to Criminal Justice in Brazil. The methodology involved a review of the national and international literature related to criminal politics, traditional criminological knowledge, critical criminology and legal psychology (mainly linked to the criminal sphere). As a complementary step, we accessed 84 psychological reports included in criminal proceedings of a Court of Criminal Appeals based in a Brazilian capital city. For the theoretical debate proposed in this study, excerpts from the analyzed documents were confronted with the postulates of critical criminology – central theoretical framework for the thesis – with a view to exemplifying arguments and collaborating with a better understanding of the discussion. The work points out that the psychological practices related to the criminal field are strongly influenced by the assumptions of Liberal and Positivist Criminologies; that the work of psychologists mostly corroborates current criminal politics; and that the psychological actions taken towards the defense and promotion of human rights occupy a counter-hegemonic position in the criminal sphere. The conclusions emphasize the need for the active participation of Psychology in the construction of a new ethical and political project of society; professional action as a resistance to social orthopedic practices and the reinvention of psychological practices in this field in order to overcome the bourgeois illusions of re-socialization, rehabilitation and re-education of perpetrators. |
