A violência no futebol: estudo jurídico e criminológico

Abstract

The present work deals with the phenomenon of violence among soccer fans and the public and criminal policies surrounding this issue. The objective of the work is to understand the control model used by the country and how it relates to soccer violence. To this end, the inductive and qualitative methods were used, as well as bibliographic and documental research. Initially, it was sought to understand the origin of the Brazilian organized fans and of the Argentinean barra bravas, understanding the fans as subcultures, entering into the culture of the aguante, which permeates all the acts and values worshipped in the world of the barra. Subsequently, the control model seen in Brazil was discussed, based on repression and punitivism, and the laws of Brazil and Argentina were compared regarding soccer fans and sporting events. Finally, we sought to analyze the numbers on the reality of violence in soccer, and to understand the values and rituals of the barras from Rio Grande do Sul, Geral do Grêmio and Guarda Popular, through the study of the chants and interviews with members of the barras. Therefore, it was concluded that soccer violence is the result of the country's inefficiency in combating criminality; the repressive model and the hyper incarceration model followed by Brazil proved ineffective in reducing statistics, and the soccer environment is a reflection of society.
