A Vingança privada no ordenamento jurídico: seus reflexos na contemporaneidade

Abstract

The present work aims to contextualize private revenge in contemporary society presenting its negative results from a problem that very much afflicts our Country: impunity and sometimes ineffectiveness of the punitive system itself. In this step, it is necessary to demonstrate the feeling of dissatisfaction of the general population and, consequently, the appearance of figures such as the vigilante, who seeks to do his own justice. Therefore, from this scenario, actions arise in the aspect of privative revenge, which will be studied by different perspectives, such as legal, psychological and social, making a historical approach to elements of past periods and their reflections in the current social environment.
