DESAFIOS E POSSIBILIDADES DE APLICAÇÃO DA JUSTIÇA RESTAURATIVA: casos de roubo e furto na cidade de Gurupi-TO
Abstract
The present work uses secondary data on crimes and thefts, collected by the Tocantins Military Police and the 4th Battalion of the Military Police of Gurupi, in the 2014-2015 and 2016-2017 biennia. It analyzes them through Descriptive Statistics and proposes an alternative to break the vicious circle of physical and psychological punishment of those convicted of such crimes. As main results, there is an increase of more than 70% in residential robberies in the second biennium. Another crime of great incidence was the robbery of passersby. Given the peculiarities of the city of Gurupi, it is concluded that an adequate measure would be the development of a Restorative Justice Project, through an agreement between the University of Gurupi and the Court of Justice of the State of Tocantins, with the participation of the trainees of the courses of Law and Psychology of this University.
