Keywords:
criminal classification, prison system, criminal factions, public safety, discretionAbstract
This article analyzes the proposed amendments to Law 12,850/2013 (Criminal Organizations Law) within the scope of the so-called “Anticrime Bill.” Based on a historical review, it addresses the legislative evolution of the definition of criminal organization, highlighting how Law 12,850/2013 established parameters to avoid trivialization and confusion between criminal organization, criminal association, and conspiracy. Next, the proposed changes are examined, in particular item III, which introduces nominal examples of factions and broadens the criminal concept to include control over economic or criminal activity through intimidation, without requiring the previous minimum penalties. It is concluded that these changes raise serious concerns regarding legislative technique, unconstitutionality, and the risk of a resurgence of mass incarceration.
