Abstract

The recent amendment to Law 18.216 completes a silent process of insertion of actuarial technologies of risk prediction of recidivism among offenders. These technologies are closely linked to changes that Anglo-Saxon penal systems have experienced in the past 30 years. This paper aims to explain the origins of these technologies, their content and what are the main problems and challenges that their introduction poses to the penal system. This paper will contrast two types of explanatory speeches of risk paradigm that, while epistemologically different, allow us to have a more complete picture of the analyzed scenario.
