{"product_id":"aporophobia-and-punitive-power-in-brazil","title":"Aporophobia and Punitive Power in Brazil","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis book provides a critical and reflective analysis of the criminological movement to establish aporophobia as a framework for examining punitive power. It scrutinizes the theoretical, methodological, and political foundations of aporophobia, a concept developed in a distinct sociopolitical reality and reveals the risks of uncritically applying it to Brazil's context. It highlights how aporophobia fails to account for the central role of Brazil s history of slavery in shaping its abysmal penal selectivity, which disproportionately targets marginalized groups perceived as social pariahs. By obscuring these structural roots, this movement inadvertently legitimizes Brazil s unchecked punitive power, perpetuating the belief in criminal law as a solution to deeply embedded social issues ultimately reinforcing what is identified as a criminology of blindness that ignores the roots of the abysmal selectivity of punitive power in Brazil.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRooted in critical criminology, the book highlights the limitations of aporophobia as a critical-criminological tool and proposes an alternative framework grounded in intersectionality and Southern epistemologies. These perspectives emphasize the importance of delegitimizing criminal law as a mechanism for addressing social inequalities while constructing a more realistic and emancipatory critique of punitive power. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt also exposes the criminal policy of the  other , a caste-based model that erodes the rule of law, even under the punitive new left. Ultimately, the work calls for a criminological approach that engages directly with Brazil s historical and systemic inequalities, offering a globally informed yet locally grounded analysis of the selective exercise of punitive power.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Buchserien.de","offers":[{"title":"Neuware","offer_id":53986888286546,"sku":"9783032017529","price":48.14,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0615\/7002\/3593\/files\/unnamed_1058e0a9-f11a-4453-9d91-0b5d60a56f6f.jpg?v=1783912590","url":"https:\/\/www.buchserien.de\/products\/aporophobia-and-punitive-power-in-brazil","provider":"Buchserien.de","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
