Abstract

At first, the article recognizes that the Brazilian society has a strong punitive desire, which can be seen not only through brazilian's aptitudes, but also through its laws. For being a manifestation of this growing punitive claim, we criticize the non-criminal prosecution agreement as presented by Law 13. 964/ 19, known as “Pacote Anticrime”. Our criticisms are focused, above all, on the confession model, which we consider unconstitutional, arbitrary and extremely inquisitorial. Furthermore, we consider that the forms of negotiation crime, when appropriate to the legal limits, prove to be beneficial both for the reduction of the exorbitant prison population and for the speed of the proceedings. Therefore, we end the text proposing ways to solve the inconsistencies found in the non-criminal prosecution agreement.
