Since a decolonizing pespective critic it announces the end of the great civilizing modern project and the criminological thinking seems to be immobilized and useless. A civilizing wreck that raises the fear in its many versions. In between the desperation, the Restorative Justice points to a new democratic and participative project. Going towards to the perception of this practice by the actors of the punitive system in the County of Blumenau - SC - realized studies show resistance to the possibility of going beyond a punitive colonized culture that still insist on legitimizing a selecive and perverse model.
