Criminal Justice System In Brazil: Cultural Impact
[ send me this essay ]
9 pages in length. Brazil's criminal justice system reflects a duality of cultural influence from early nineteenth century independence and slavery, a coupling that inevitably created a penal process that "intimately linked to the maintenance of slavery as the central feature of Brazilian society" (Aguirre, no date). Contemporary cultural influence upon Brazil's criminal justice system finds that as urban communities have experienced exponentially growth in the recent past, the approach to criminal justice has taken on a greater sense of abusive tactics and, as a direct result, come under fire in relation to the issue of human rights. The writer also compares Brazil's system with that of the United States. Bibliography lists 8 sources.
