Abstract

This work brings a reflection on the theory of broken windows, seeing its applicability in the Brazilian legal system, given thehigh crime rate, which generates fear and insecurity. The hypothetical-deductive method was used in the methodology, analyzing from the general to the particular. The institute of criminology will be approached in a succinct manner, pointing out its concept and purposes, as well as in what differs from criminal law. After the brief introduction, the theory of broken windows will be discussed in order to under-stand it, emphasizing its origin and a parallel of its application in relation to disorder and criminality. We conclude the present article, demonstrating the solidification of the applicability of broken window theory in our Brazilian legal system.
