Abstract

This article aims to investigate the extent to which the Santa Catarina Court of Justice (TJSC) maintains first-degree convictions in drug crimes in order to discover the influence suffered by the way in which the decision of the police authorities at the time of the investigation police influence the final outcome of the crime process. To do so, we first investigated the history of prohibitionism on a global scale, in order to understand its repercussions on brazilian legislation. Afterwards, the brazilian legislative evolution on the subject was analyzed, until reaching the current legislation, enacted in 2006, seeking to understand all the illegalities and disrespect for fundamental rights, as well as their real impact on brazilian criminal policy. In view of the fact that drug crimes are largely responsible for the high level of incarceration, we analized the extent the Santa Catarina Court of Justice contribute to this number, by maintaining the conduct imputed in the first degree. To this end, we use the bibliografy review methodology and jugdes analyses of 197 judges were analyzed, from January 2019 to January 2020, through the TJSC procedural consultation system. For now, what can be seen is that the Court maintained all first-degree convictions for drug trafficking, showing how the moment when the police investigation is launched plays a fundamental role in the final outcome of the process.
