Contraterrorismo: expansão e função da rede na justiça criminal

Abstract

The present text presents brief considerations on the internationalization of criminal policy and its consequences. The transformation of criminal justice to combat drugs, organized crime and terrorism has resulted in the instrumentalisation of the State's punitive power. This change impacts not only the still incipient international criminal system, but also domestic criminal justice, provoking its expansion, a sensitive change in its paradigms and a weakening of procedural guarantees in the face of a growing demand for security. It is intended to demonstrate with this analysis that as the security system strengthens, there is a decrease in the fundamental guarantees of the criminal process, a high price to pay for an incipient result of criminal policy as a way of controlling social problems.
