ANTISOCIAL PERSONALITY DISORDER

THE (IN)EFFICIENCY OF LEGAL AND CRIMINAL CONSEQUENCES

Abstract

THE PRESENT RESEARCH, ENTITLED "ANTISOCIAL PERSONALITY DISORDER: ON THE (IN)EFFICACY OF LEGAL-PENAL CONSEQUENCES", AIMED TO BRING A CRITICAL ANALYSIS ABOUT THE CRIMINAL SANCTION IMPOSED ON THE CRIMINAL DIAGNOSED WITH ANTISOCIAL PERSONALITY DISORDER (ASPD) UNDER THE PUNITIVE, PREVENTIVE NATURE AND PEDAGOGY OF PUNISHMENT. THE TOPIC ADDRESSED IS JUSTIFIED BECAUSE, IN LINE WITH THE FIELD RESEARCH PRESENTED, THE CITIZEN'S DISSATISFACTION WITH THE STATE'S PERFORMANCE WAS MEASURED, AS WELL AS THE CASE STUDIES SHOWED THE INEFFECTIVENESS OF THE MEASURES ADOPTED. THIS SCENARIO POINTS TO THE NEED FOR THE LEGISLATURE TO CREATE A SPECIFIC LAW, IN VIEW OF THE JUS PUNIENDI (DIREITO DE PUNIR DO ESTADO), WITH THE AIM OF GUARANTEEING SOCIAL PACIFICATION. IN VIEW OF THE ABOVE, THE METHODOLOGY USED WAS BIBLIOGRAPHIC RESEARCH IN LITERARY AND DIGITAL WORKS, QUALITATIVE ANALYSIS OF LAWS AND FIELD RESEARCH. AMONG THE FINDINGS OF THE ARTICLE ELSEWHERE, WE HIGHLIGHT THE DIFFICULTY IN ESTABLISHING AN EFFECTIVE CORRECTION/TREATMENT IN VIEW OF THE PECULIARITIES OF THE DISORDER AND THE AGENT'S IMPUTABILITY.
