The Revista Brasileira de Ciências Criminais presents this special dossier dedicated to the critical analysis of Law 14.532/2023, which introduced significant changes in the definition, punishment, and interpretation of racism-related crimes in Brazil. This new legislation represents a milestone in the evolution of the legal treatment of racial discrimination, requiring a deep reflection on its theoretical and practical impacts. Furthermore, this dossier addresses issues such as racism in religious, recreational, and sports contexts, the intersections between racism and homophobia, and the implications of the legislation for criminal enforcement and the Penal Code. The aim is to foster a qualified and interdisciplinary debate on the challenges and perspectives brought by the new law, contributing to the advancement of research and the fight against racism in the legal and social spheres.
