O Princípio da insignificância e sua aplicabilidade nos crimes contra a administração pública

Abstract

The present article whose methodology used was the literature and jurisprudence search, using the deductive method of approach, aims to verify the application of the principle of insignificance in crimes over the Public Administration in Brazil. Although there is knowledge consolidated in the doctrine and homeland jurisprudence in that the principle of insignificance is applicable to Brazilian law there are still several positions over the insignificance of the practice of crimes against Public Administration. From this premise, initially, the study is directed to the conceptualization of crime and principles, then, to the origin of the principle of insignificance, as well as its concept, requirements and applicability in general on the Brazilian juridical sphere. Sequentially it goes to a synthetic study of definitions of functional crimes, Public Administration, public official and the legal object tutored by these crimes. Finally, the analysis is directed to the topic of Brazilian jurisprudential reality, more precisely, as the Superior Courts.
