Located in Brasilia since 1960, it is made up of 11 Justices appointed by the President and confirmed by the Federal Senate, with compulsory retirement at the age of 75. Its primary function is to safeguard the 1988 Constitution, with powers to review constitutionality through mechanisms such as the Direct Action for Unconstitutionality. The court's sessions are broadcast publicly, and its president holds significant institutional importance, being fourth in the line of presidential succession. Throughout Brazilian history, the STF has played a critical role in maintaining judicial independence, particularly during challenging political periods such as the military regime. Its jurisdiction covers the interpretation of constitutional matters, the judgement of high authorities and the resolution of legal disputes, representing a fundamental pillar of the Brazilian democratic system. <\/span><\/div><div class=\"cmtt-footnote-def\" id=\"cmttFootnoteLink2\"><span class=\"cmtt-footnote-def-number\">2. <\/span><span class=\"cmtt-footnote-def-back\"><a class=\"cmtt_footnote_link cmtt-footnote-backlink\" href=\"#cmttFootnoteLink2-0\" style=\"font-size: 14px; color: #325afb; font-style : none ;\"> &#8593; <\/a><\/span><span class=\"cmtt-footnote-def-key\"> <a aria-describedby=\"tt\" href=\"https:\/\/advogados.cv\/en\/glossary\/homicidio\/\" class=\"glossaryLink\" target=\"_blank\">murder<\/a>. <\/span><span class=\"cmtt-footnote-def-content\"> Homicide is the act of one person killing another, with varying legal and social interpretations in different contexts. It can be classified as justifiable, excusable or criminal, and can involve intentional or negligent actions. In Brazilian criminal law, homicide requires a natural person as the active and passive subject, with specific legal distinctions between types such as simple, qualified and privileged homicide. Proving homicide requires establishing the corpus delicti, typically through physical or testimonial evidence. Prevention strategies involve a comprehensive approach that addresses social factors such as poverty, inequality, the availability of weapons and mental health. The legal system aims to protect individuals' right to life through criminal justice policies, community interventions and public awareness initiatives that target the underlying causes of violent behaviour. <\/span><\/div><button class=\"cmtt-footnote-showmore-btn\">Show more<\/button><div class=\"cmtt-footnote-def hidden\" id=\"cmttFootnoteLink3\"><span class=\"cmtt-footnote-def-number\">3. <\/span><span class=\"cmtt-footnote-def-back\"><a class=\"cmtt_footnote_link cmtt-footnote-backlink\" href=\"#cmttFootnoteLink3-0\" style=\"font-size: 14px; color: #325afb; font-style : none ;\"> &#8593; <\/a><\/span><span class=\"cmtt-footnote-def-key\"> <a aria-describedby=\"tt\" href=\"https:\/\/advogados.cv\/en\/glossary\/law\/\" class=\"glossaryLink\" target=\"_blank\">Law<\/a> ( Law ) <\/span><span class=\"cmtt-footnote-def-content\"> The law has evolved through complex historical stages, from ancient Egyptian and Sumerian codes to sophisticated Roman legal systems. Ancient civilisations developed organised legal structures, with significant innovations emerging in Greece and Rome. Roman law, strongly influenced by Greek philosophy, was systematically codified and subsequently rediscovered in the 11th century, forming the basis for continental European legal systems. During the Middle Ages, custom and case law replaced rigid Roman codes, with the English royal courts developing common law precedents. Modern legal systems emerged with influential codifications such as the Napoleonic and German civil codes, demonstrating increasing standardisation. Throughout history, law has been closely connected to the development of civilisation, continually adapting to changing social contexts and reflecting national identities through philosophical, cultural and professional influences. <\/span><\/div><div class=\"cmtt-footnote-def hidden\" id=\"cmttFootnoteLink4\"><span class=\"cmtt-footnote-def-number\">4. <\/span><span class=\"cmtt-footnote-def-back\"><a class=\"cmtt_footnote_link cmtt-footnote-backlink\" href=\"#cmttFootnoteLink4-0\" style=\"font-size: 14px; color: #325afb; font-style : none ;\"> &#8593; <\/a><\/span><span class=\"cmtt-footnote-def-key\"> <a aria-describedby=\"tt\" href=\"https:\/\/advogados.cv\/en\/glossary\/robbery\/\" class=\"glossaryLink\" target=\"_blank\">robbery<\/a>. <\/span><span class=\"cmtt-footnote-def-content\"> In Brazil, theft is a serious criminal offence with penalties ranging from 4 to 10 years in prison and a fine. The offence is consummated when possession is illegally transferred by means of violence or a serious threat, even if only briefly. Penalties increase in specific circumstances such as the use of a weapon, multiple offenders or restriction of the victim's freedom. Serious bodily injury can extend imprisonment to 7-15 years. Legal nuances distinguish robbery from robbery-homicide, with each offence having distinct intent. The involvement of a firearm is carefully assessed, requiring functional weapons that genuinely embarrass the victims. The legal framework considers factors such as violence, threat and the specific context of the theft. Prosecution is based on a precise interpretation of the Penal Code, emphasising the difference between theft and robbery by the element of direct confrontation and threat. <\/span><\/div><div class=\"cmtt-footnote-def hidden\" id=\"cmttFootnoteLink5\"><span class=\"cmtt-footnote-def-number\">5. <\/span><span class=\"cmtt-footnote-def-back\"><a class=\"cmtt_footnote_link cmtt-footnote-backlink\" href=\"#cmttFootnoteLink5-0\" style=\"font-size: 14px; color: #325afb; font-style : none ;\"> &#8593; <\/a><\/span><span class=\"cmtt-footnote-def-key\"> <a aria-describedby=\"tt\" href=\"https:\/\/advogados.cv\/en\/glossary\/death\/\" class=\"glossaryLink\" target=\"_blank\">death<\/a>. <\/span><span class=\"cmtt-footnote-def-content\"> Death is a complex biological and philosophical phenomenon characterised by the cessation of physiological functions and consciousness. Defined differently across cultures and disciplines, it involves intricate medical, legal and ethical considerations. Traditionally identified by cardiac and respiratory failure, modern definitions increasingly emphasise brain death and neurological criteria. Biological processes after death include cellular decomposition, influenced by environmental factors. Globally, ageing remains the leading cause of death, with infectious diseases predominant in developing countries and chronic conditions prevalent in industrialised nations. Cultural interpretations vary widely, with different societies developing unique rituals and perspectives on mortality. Medical advances have transformed the understanding of death, making it a more controlled and medically managed event, raising ongoing debates about precise definition, determination and implications for organ donation and end-of-life decisions. <\/span><\/div><div class=\"cmtt-footnote-def hidden\" id=\"cmttFootnoteLink6\"><span class=\"cmtt-footnote-def-number\">6. <\/span><span class=\"cmtt-footnote-def-back\"><a class=\"cmtt_footnote_link cmtt-footnote-backlink\" href=\"#cmttFootnoteLink6-0\" style=\"font-size: 14px; color: #325afb; font-style : none ;\"> &#8593; <\/a><\/span><span class=\"cmtt-footnote-def-key\"> <a aria-describedby=\"tt\" href=\"https:\/\/advogados.cv\/en\/glossary\/rape\/\" class=\"glossaryLink\" target=\"_blank\">rape<\/a>. <\/span><span class=\"cmtt-footnote-def-content\"> O estupro \u00e9 uma quest\u00e3o social e legal complexa que envolve atos sexuais n\u00e3o consensuais entre diferentes g\u00e9neros e contextos. Globalmente, as taxas de den\u00fancia variam significativamente, com estimativas de experi\u00eancias ao longo da vida em 19,3% para mulheres e 1,7% para homens. As v\u00edtimas frequentemente enfrentam trauma psicol\u00f3gico, riscos f\u00edsicos e estigma social, o que contribui para a subnotifica\u00e7\u00e3o. Historicamente, as defini\u00e7\u00f5es de estupro evolu\u00edram, com interpreta\u00e7\u00f5es legais a mudarem para incluir formas mais amplas de viol\u00eancia sexual. Perspetivas culturais mudaram de visualizar o estupro como puramente sexual para entend\u00ea-lo como uma express\u00e3o de poder e opress\u00e3o. Ocorre em m\u00faltiplos ambientes, incluindo parcerias \u00edntimas, conflitos e ambientes institucionais como pris\u00f5es. A investiga\u00e7\u00e3o feminista examinou criticamente as ra\u00edzes sociais do estupro, desafiando mitos e destacando a viol\u00eancia sist\u00e9mica baseada no g\u00e9nero.

Globally, reporting rates vary significantly, with lifetime experience estimates at 19.3% for women and 1.7% for men. Victims often face psychological trauma, physical risks and social stigma, which contributes to underreporting. Historically, definitions of rape have evolved, with legal interpretations changing to include broader forms of sexual violence. Cultural perspectives have shifted from viewing rape as purely sexual to understanding it as an expression of power and oppression. It occurs in multiple settings, including intimate partnerships, conflicts and institutional settings such as prisons. Feminist research has critically examined the social roots of rape, challenging myths and highlighting systemic gender-based violence. Prevention efforts and legal reforms continue to address this persistent global problem. <\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"cmtt-footnote-bottom-border\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"cmtt-footnotes-block\"><div class=\"cmtt-footnote-header\">Terms definitions<\/div><div class=\"cmtt-footnote-header-border\"><\/div><div class=\"cmtt-footnote-def\" id=\"cmttFootnoteLink1\"><span class=\"cmtt-footnote-def-number\">1. <\/span><span class=\"cmtt-footnote-def-back\"><a class=\"cmtt_footnote_link cmtt-footnote-backlink\" href=\"#cmttFootnoteLink1-0\" style=\"font-size: 14px; color: #325afb; font-style : none ;\"> &#8593; <\/a><\/span><span class=\"cmtt-footnote-def-key\"> <a aria-describedby=\"tt\" href=\"https:\/\/advogados.cv\/en\/glossary\/supreme-federal-court\/\" class=\"glossaryLink\" target=\"_blank\">Supreme Court<\/a> ( Supremo Tribunal Federal ) <\/span><span class=\"cmtt-footnote-def-content\"> The Supreme Federal Court (STF) is Brazil's highest judicial body, established in 1822 and serving as a supreme and constitutional court. Located in Brasilia since 1960, it is made up of 11 Justices appointed by the President and confirmed by the Federal Senate, with compulsory retirement at the age of 75. Its primary function is to safeguard the 1988 Constitution, with powers to review constitutionality through mechanisms such as the Direct Action for Unconstitutionality. The court's sessions are broadcast publicly, and its president holds significant institutional importance, being fourth in the line of presidential succession. Throughout Brazilian history, the STF has played a critical role in maintaining judicial independence, particularly during challenging political periods such as the military regime. Its jurisdiction covers the interpretation of constitutional matters, the judgement of high authorities and the resolution of legal disputes, representing a fundamental pillar of the Brazilian democratic system. <\/span><\/div><div class=\"cmtt-footnote-def\" id=\"cmttFootnoteLink2\"><span class=\"cmtt-footnote-def-number\">2. <\/span><span class=\"cmtt-footnote-def-back\"><a class=\"cmtt_footnote_link cmtt-footnote-backlink\" href=\"#cmttFootnoteLink2-0\" style=\"font-size: 14px; color: #325afb; font-style : none ;\"> &#8593; <\/a><\/span><span class=\"cmtt-footnote-def-key\"> <a aria-describedby=\"tt\" href=\"https:\/\/advogados.cv\/en\/glossary\/homicidio\/\" class=\"glossaryLink\" target=\"_blank\">murder<\/a>. <\/span><span class=\"cmtt-footnote-def-content\"> Homicide is the act of one person killing another, with varying legal and social interpretations in different contexts. It can be classified as justifiable, excusable or criminal, and can involve intentional or negligent actions. In Brazilian criminal law, homicide requires a natural person as the active and passive subject, with specific legal distinctions between types such as simple, qualified and privileged homicide. Proving homicide requires establishing the corpus delicti, typically through physical or testimonial evidence. Prevention strategies involve a comprehensive approach that addresses social factors such as poverty, inequality, the availability of weapons and mental health. The legal system aims to protect individuals' right to life through criminal justice policies, community interventions and public awareness initiatives that target the underlying causes of violent behaviour. <\/span><\/div><button class=\"cmtt-footnote-showmore-btn\">Show more<\/button><div class=\"cmtt-footnote-def hidden\" id=\"cmttFootnoteLink3\"><span class=\"cmtt-footnote-def-number\">3. <\/span><span class=\"cmtt-footnote-def-back\"><a class=\"cmtt_footnote_link cmtt-footnote-backlink\" href=\"#cmttFootnoteLink3-0\" style=\"font-size: 14px; color: #325afb; font-style : none ;\"> &#8593; <\/a><\/span><span class=\"cmtt-footnote-def-key\"> <a aria-describedby=\"tt\" href=\"https:\/\/advogados.cv\/en\/glossary\/law\/\" class=\"glossaryLink\" target=\"_blank\">Law<\/a> ( Law ) <\/span><span class=\"cmtt-footnote-def-content\"> The law has evolved through complex historical stages, from ancient Egyptian and Sumerian codes to sophisticated Roman legal systems. Ancient civilisations developed organised legal structures, with significant innovations emerging in Greece and Rome. Roman law, strongly influenced by Greek philosophy, was systematically codified and subsequently rediscovered in the 11th century, forming the basis for continental European legal systems. During the Middle Ages, custom and case law replaced rigid Roman codes, with the English royal courts developing common law precedents. Modern legal systems emerged with influential codifications such as the Napoleonic and German civil codes, demonstrating increasing standardisation. Throughout history, law has been closely connected to the development of civilisation, continually adapting to changing social contexts and reflecting national identities through philosophical, cultural and professional influences. <\/span><\/div><div class=\"cmtt-footnote-def hidden\" id=\"cmttFootnoteLink4\"><span class=\"cmtt-footnote-def-number\">4. <\/span><span class=\"cmtt-footnote-def-back\"><a class=\"cmtt_footnote_link cmtt-footnote-backlink\" href=\"#cmttFootnoteLink4-0\" style=\"font-size: 14px; color: #325afb; font-style : none ;\"> &#8593; <\/a><\/span><span class=\"cmtt-footnote-def-key\"> <a aria-describedby=\"tt\" href=\"https:\/\/advogados.cv\/en\/glossary\/robbery\/\" class=\"glossaryLink\" target=\"_blank\">robbery<\/a>. <\/span><span class=\"cmtt-footnote-def-content\"> In Brazil, theft is a serious criminal offence with penalties ranging from 4 to 10 years in prison and a fine. The offence is consummated when possession is illegally transferred by means of violence or a serious threat, even if only briefly. Penalties increase in specific circumstances such as the use of a weapon, multiple offenders or restriction of the victim's freedom. Serious bodily injury can extend imprisonment to 7-15 years. Legal nuances distinguish robbery from robbery-homicide, with each offence having distinct intent. The involvement of a firearm is carefully assessed, requiring functional weapons that genuinely embarrass the victims. The legal framework considers factors such as violence, threat and the specific context of the theft. Prosecution is based on a precise interpretation of the Penal Code, emphasising the difference between theft and robbery by the element of direct confrontation and threat. <\/span><\/div><div class=\"cmtt-footnote-def hidden\" id=\"cmttFootnoteLink5\"><span class=\"cmtt-footnote-def-number\">5. <\/span><span class=\"cmtt-footnote-def-back\"><a class=\"cmtt_footnote_link cmtt-footnote-backlink\" href=\"#cmttFootnoteLink5-0\" style=\"font-size: 14px; color: #325afb; font-style : none ;\"> &#8593; <\/a><\/span><span class=\"cmtt-footnote-def-key\"> <a aria-describedby=\"tt\" href=\"https:\/\/advogados.cv\/en\/glossary\/death\/\" class=\"glossaryLink\" target=\"_blank\">death<\/a>. <\/span><span class=\"cmtt-footnote-def-content\"> Death is a complex biological and philosophical phenomenon characterised by the cessation of physiological functions and consciousness. Defined differently across cultures and disciplines, it involves intricate medical, legal and ethical considerations. Traditionally identified by cardiac and respiratory failure, modern definitions increasingly emphasise brain death and neurological criteria. Biological processes after death include cellular decomposition, influenced by environmental factors. Globally, ageing remains the leading cause of death, with infectious diseases predominant in developing countries and chronic conditions prevalent in industrialised nations. Cultural interpretations vary widely, with different societies developing unique rituals and perspectives on mortality. Medical advances have transformed the understanding of death, making it a more controlled and medically managed event, raising ongoing debates about precise definition, determination and implications for organ donation and end-of-life decisions. <\/span><\/div><div class=\"cmtt-footnote-def hidden\" id=\"cmttFootnoteLink6\"><span class=\"cmtt-footnote-def-number\">6. <\/span><span class=\"cmtt-footnote-def-back\"><a class=\"cmtt_footnote_link cmtt-footnote-backlink\" href=\"#cmttFootnoteLink6-0\" style=\"font-size: 14px; color: #325afb; font-style : none ;\"> &#8593; <\/a><\/span><span class=\"cmtt-footnote-def-key\"> <a aria-describedby=\"tt\" href=\"https:\/\/advogados.cv\/en\/glossary\/rape\/\" class=\"glossaryLink\" target=\"_blank\">rape<\/a>. <\/span><span class=\"cmtt-footnote-def-content\"> O estupro \u00e9 uma quest\u00e3o social e legal complexa que envolve atos sexuais n\u00e3o consensuais entre diferentes g\u00e9neros e contextos.

It encompasses the interpretation and application of laws by the courts, serving to fill legal gaps and adapt to contemporary societal needs. Judicial decisions provide critical guidance for legal practice, with specialised databases helping lawyers navigate complex legal landscapes. While laws have broader application and are created through legislative processes, court decisions offer specific interpretations and precedents within a given jurisdiction. The discipline plays a crucial role in understanding legal customs, resolving disputes and ensuring consistent judicial reasoning. Modern jurisprudence relies on technological solutions to categorise and analyse court decisions, enabling more efficient legal research and interpretation. <\/span><\/div><div class=\"cmtt-footnote-def hidden\" id=\"cmttFootnoteLink8\"><span class=\"cmtt-footnote-def-number\">8. <\/span><span class=\"cmtt-footnote-def-back\"><a class=\"cmtt_footnote_link cmtt-footnote-backlink\" href=\"#cmttFootnoteLink8-0\" style=\"font-size: 14px; color: #325afb; font-style : none ;\"> &#8593; <\/a><\/span><span class=\"cmtt-footnote-def-key\"> <a aria-describedby=\"tt\" href=\"https:\/\/advogados.cv\/en\/glossary\/constitution\/\" class=\"glossaryLink\" target=\"_blank\">Constitution<\/a> ( Constitution ) <\/span><span class=\"cmtt-footnote-def-content\"> Constitutions are fundamental legal documents that define government structures, rights and principles. They can be rigid or flexible, existing at national, regional or local levels, and are created by a sovereign constituent power. Constitutional reforms are typically carried out by a derived constituent power with specific limitations. Key features include protecting fundamental rights, establishing state mechanisms and maintaining legal supremacy. Control mechanisms ensure constitutional compliance through diffuse and concentrated review processes. Most democratic constitutions are developed through constituent assemblies and include provisions that protect core normative elements. International influences, particularly from the American and French revolutions, have shaped modern constitutional theory. Notably, some constitutions such as India's are extensively detailed, with hundreds of articles and amendments. The principle of constitutional unity emphasises the harmonious interpretation of legal principles, resolving potential conflicts through balanced approaches. <\/span><\/div><div class=\"cmtt-footnote-def hidden\" id=\"cmttFootnoteLink9\"><span class=\"cmtt-footnote-def-number\">9. <\/span><span class=\"cmtt-footnote-def-back\"><a class=\"cmtt_footnote_link cmtt-footnote-backlink\" href=\"#cmttFootnoteLink9-0\" style=\"font-size: 14px; color: #325afb; font-style : none ;\"> &#8593; <\/a><\/span><span class=\"cmtt-footnote-def-key\"> <a aria-describedby=\"tt\" href=\"https:\/\/advogados.cv\/en\/glossary\/jurisdicao\/\" class=\"glossaryLink\" target=\"_blank\">jurisdiction<\/a>. <\/span><span class=\"cmtt-footnote-def-content\"> Jurisdiction is the legal authority to administer justice and resolve conflicts, traditionally associated with the judiciary but now encompassing various governmental bodies. It involves principles such as impartiality, inevitability and inertia, with characteristics including mandatory and universal application. Jurisdiction can be voluntary (administrative) or contentious (aimed at social pacification), and is not limited to court proceedings. Alternative methods of conflict resolution such as mediation and arbitration exist alongside court proceedings. The concept is fundamental to civil procedure, involving conditions of action such as legitimate interest and the possibility of redress. Key aspects include the power to determine legal issues, the ability to substitute the will of the parties and providing effective judicial protection as a fundamental right. <\/span><\/div><div class=\"cmtt-footnote-def hidden\" id=\"cmttFootnoteLink10\"><span class=\"cmtt-footnote-def-number\">10. <\/span><span class=\"cmtt-footnote-def-back\"><a class=\"cmtt_footnote_link cmtt-footnote-backlink\" href=\"#cmttFootnoteLink10-0\" style=\"font-size: 14px; color: #325afb; font-style : none ;\"> &#8593; <\/a><\/span><span class=\"cmtt-footnote-def-key\"> <a aria-describedby=\"tt\" href=\"https:\/\/advogados.cv\/en\/glossary\/criminal-law\/\" class=\"glossaryLink\" target=\"_blank\">criminal law<\/a>. <\/span><span class=\"cmtt-footnote-def-content\"> Criminal law is a complex legal system that governs social conduct and criminal behaviour. Rooted in historical traditions such as Roman law and canon law, it aims to protect fundamental rights such as life, liberty and property. The field balances state power with individual rights, emphasising principles of human dignity, proportionality and due process of law. Key principles include legality, presumption of innocence and minimum intervention. Theoretical approaches range from the retributive model (punishment as justice) to preventive and restorative models, focusing on crime prevention and offender rehabilitation. Sources include penal codes, criminal procedure legislation and judicial precedents. Notable scholars such as Roxin, Bitencourt and Figueiredo Dias have contributed significantly to its development. Criminal law ultimately seeks to maintain social order while respecting individual human rights, using legal mechanisms as a last resort to address social conflicts. <\/span><\/div><div class=\"cmtt-footnote-def hidden\" id=\"cmttFootnoteLink11\"><span class=\"cmtt-footnote-def-number\">11. <\/span><span class=\"cmtt-footnote-def-back\"><a class=\"cmtt_footnote_link cmtt-footnote-backlink\" href=\"#cmttFootnoteLink11-0\" style=\"font-size: 14px; color: #325afb; font-style : none ;\"> &#8593; <\/a><\/span><span class=\"cmtt-footnote-def-key\"> <a aria-describedby=\"tt\" href=\"https:\/\/advogados.cv\/en\/glossary\/saude-mental\/\" class=\"glossaryLink\" target=\"_blank\">mental health<\/a>. <\/span><span class=\"cmtt-footnote-def-content\"> Mental health encompasses cognitive and emotional well-being, focussing on the individual's ability to enjoy life and manage stress. Historically, psychiatric approaches have evolved from isolation and segregation to community integration, particularly in Brazil. The Psychiatric Reform Movement in the 1970s challenged traditional biomedical models, advocating more holistic mental health care. Specialised centres such as CAPS (Psychosocial Care Centres) were established to provide comprehensive support for children, adolescents and adults. Key legislative milestones include Law 10.216 of 2001, which regulated mental health care and prioritised community-based treatment over hospitalisation. Challenges remain, including a shortage of services, insufficient supervision and fragmented care networks. Family support and university mental health initiatives are increasingly recognised as critical factors in the treatment of depression, anxiety and other psychological disorders. Ongoing efforts aim to improve mental health services, emphasising prevention, community integration and personalised care approaches. <\/span><\/div><div class=\"cmtt-footnote-def hidden\" id=\"cmttFootnoteLink12\"><span class=\"cmtt-footnote-def-number\">12. <\/span><span class=\"cmtt-footnote-def-back\"><a class=\"cmtt_footnote_link cmtt-footnote-backlink\" href=\"#cmttFootnoteLink12-0\" style=\"font-size: 14px; color: #325afb; font-style : none ;\"> &#8593; <\/a><\/span><span class=\"cmtt-footnote-def-key\"> <a aria-describedby=\"tt\" href=\"https:\/\/advogados.cv\/en\/glossary\/roman-law\/\" class=\"glossaryLink\" target=\"_blank\">roman law<\/a>. <\/span><span class=\"cmtt-footnote-def-content\"> Roman law encompassed legal rules developed in Rome and its empire from 449 BC to 530 AD, evolving through four main periods. Initially nationalistic and linked to religious practices, it gradually became more universal and complex. The Twelve Tablets, Rome's first written legal text, marked a critical transition from customary law to codified law, addressing procedures, judgements and property rights. Under Justinian, significant legal compilations such as the Corpus Juris Civilis were created, integrating Greek legal concepts and imperial constitutions. Roman law profoundly influenced legal systems in Europe and Latin America, establishing fundamental principles of private and public law. Its legacy includes the development of legal professionalism, jurisprudence and structures to harmonise legal standards, making it a crucial model for understanding legal systems historically and contemporarily. <\/span><\/div><div class=\"cmtt-footnote-def hidden\" id=\"cmttFootnoteLink13\"><span class=\"cmtt-footnote-def-number\">13. <\/span><span class=\"cmtt-footnote-def-back\"><a class=\"cmtt_footnote_link cmtt-footnote-backlink\" href=\"#cmttFootnoteLink13-0\" style=\"font-size: 14px; color: #325afb; font-style : none ;\"> &#8593; <\/a><\/span><span class=\"cmtt-footnote-def-key\"> <a aria-describedby=\"tt\" href=\"https:\/\/advogados.cv\/en\/glossary\/idade-media\/\" class=\"glossaryLink\" target=\"_blank\">Middle Ages<\/a> ( Middle Ages ) <\/span><span class=\"cmtt-footnote-def-content\"> The Middle Ages, traditionally defined as between 476 and 1500 AD, represent a complex historical period characterised by significant societal transformations. After the fall of the Western Roman Empire, new kingdoms emerged through migration and cultural integration. The era is divided into the High and Low Middle Ages, with the former marked by demographic growth, feudalism and cultural achievements such as Gothic cathedrals, while the latter experienced challenges such as wars, famines and the Black Death. Initially seen as a \"Dark Age\", modern scholarship re-evaluates the period as a dynamic time of cultural and technological development. Key features included religious fervour, territorial expansions, changes in trade networks and interactions between different civilisations such as Byzantine, Islamic and the emerging European kingdoms. The period finally transitioned into the Renaissance, representing a critical phase in European historical evolution. <\/span><\/div><div class=\"cmtt-footnote-def hidden\" id=\"cmttFootnoteLink14\"><span class=\"cmtt-footnote-def-number\">14. <\/span><span class=\"cmtt-footnote-def-back\"><a class=\"cmtt_footnote_link cmtt-footnote-backlink\" href=\"#cmttFootnoteLink14-0\" style=\"font-size: 14px; color: #325afb; font-style : none ;\"> &#8593; <\/a><\/span><span class=\"cmtt-footnote-def-key\"> <a aria-describedby=\"tt\" href=\"https:\/\/advogados.cv\/en\/glossary\/civilizacao\/\" class=\"glossaryLink\" target=\"_blank\">civilisation<\/a>. <\/span><span class=\"cmtt-footnote-def-content\"> The concept of civilisation encompasses complex socio-cultural transformations driven by technological revolutions, representing dynamic changes in human social organisation. Civilisations are characterised by unique cultural identities, encompassing distinct ideas, customs, arts and manufacturing practices that tend to spread and influence other cultural spheres. Scholars such as Samuel Huntington and Darcy Ribeiro have proposed different frameworks for understanding civilisational development, identifying multiple cultural zones and historical trajectories. These perspectives explore how societies evolve through technological, social and cultural changes, highlighting the non-linear nature of human progression. The study of civilisations involves analysing processes of cultural hegemony, social self-regulation and potential conflicts arising from ideological and cultural differences. The concept goes beyond mere social structures, representing broader cultural identity and encompassing intricate patterns of human interaction and transformation. <\/span><\/div><div class=\"cmtt-footnote-def hidden\" id=\"cmttFootnoteLink15\"><span class=\"cmtt-footnote-def-number\">15. <\/span><span class=\"cmtt-footnote-def-back\"><a class=\"cmtt_footnote_link cmtt-footnote-backlink\" href=\"#cmttFootnoteLink15-0\" style=\"font-size: 14px; color: #325afb; font-style : none ;\"> &#8593; <\/a><\/span><span class=\"cmtt-footnote-def-key\"> <a aria-describedby=\"tt\" href=\"https:\/\/advogados.cv\/en\/glossary\/bodily-injury\/\" class=\"glossaryLink\" target=\"_blank\">Bodily injury<\/a> ( Les\u00e3o corporal ) <\/span><span class=\"cmtt-footnote-def-content\"> Bodily injury is physical harm inflicted on a person, defined in Brazilian Penal Law in Article 129. It covers various degrees of damage, from mild to fatal, and can be intentional or unintentional. The law distinguishes between different types of injury, including serious bodily injury involving permanent disability, loss of function or incurable disease. Domestic violence carries aggravated penalties. Perpetrators can be anyone, and the victim is typically another individual. The legal framework considers factors such as intent, provocation and social context when determining penalties. Culpable bodily injury, resulting from recklessness or negligence, is treated separately. The penal code allows for judicial discretion in sentencing, potentially reducing penalties for privileged bodily injury or substituting detention for fines in less serious cases. <\/span><\/div><div class=\"cmtt-footnote-def hidden\" id=\"cmttFootnoteLink16\"><span class=\"cmtt-footnote-def-number\">16. <\/span><span class=\"cmtt-footnote-def-back\"><a class=\"cmtt_footnote_link cmtt-footnote-backlink\" href=\"#cmttFootnoteLink16-0\" style=\"font-size: 14px; color: #325afb; font-style : none ;\"> &#8593; <\/a><\/span><span class=\"cmtt-footnote-def-key\"> <a aria-describedby=\"tt\" href=\"https:\/\/advogados.cv\/en\/glossary\/justice\/\" class=\"glossaryLink\" target=\"_blank\">justice<\/a>. <\/span><span class=\"cmtt-footnote-def-content\"> Justice is a complex philosophical and social concept that has been examined through various lenses in different historical periods. Ancient Greek philosophers such as Socrates and Aristotle explored its subjective and corrective dimensions, while medieval thinkers such as Thomas Aquinas connected justice to divine will. Modern theorists such as Rawls, Sen and Dworkin offer diverse perspectives on fairness, equality and social organisation. Key approaches include utilitarian views that emphasise collective happiness, libertarian perspectives that prioritise individual rights and capability-based frameworks that focus on human potential. Academics debate the fundamental principles of justice, examining the distribution of resources, opportunities and social goods. Symbolically represented by scales, a sword and blindfolded figures, justice embodies impartiality, balance and rational decision-making. Contemporary discourse continues to explore how justice can be achieved through legal, economic and philosophical mechanisms, recognising its dynamic and multifaceted nature. <\/span><\/div><div class=\"cmtt-footnote-def hidden\" id=\"cmttFootnoteLink17\"><span class=\"cmtt-footnote-def-number\">17. <\/span><span class=\"cmtt-footnote-def-back\"><a class=\"cmtt_footnote_link cmtt-footnote-backlink\" href=\"#cmttFootnoteLink17-0\" style=\"font-size: 14px; color: #325afb; font-style : none ;\"> &#8593; <\/a><\/span><span class=\"cmtt-footnote-def-key\"> <a aria-describedby=\"tt\" href=\"https:\/\/advogados.cv\/en\/glossary\/court\/\" class=\"glossaryLink\" target=\"_blank\">Court<\/a> ( Court ) <\/span><span class=\"cmtt-footnote-def-content\"> Courts are legal institutions that resolve disputes in the civil, criminal and administrative fields, operating under the rule of law in common and civil law systems. Comprising at least three key participants - plaintiff, defendant and judiciary - courts operate in specific forums or courtrooms with varying structural complexity. Their authority, known as jurisdiction, is legally defined and allows them to determine facts, interpret laws and apply appropriate remedies. Historically rooted in the English and Roman legal traditions, courts have evolved to address increasingly complex societal legal needs. They serve critical functions in contemporary democratic societies by providing individuals with access to legal remedies, upholding due process of law and maintaining systemic order. Courts remain essential conflict resolution mechanisms, adapting to changing social, political and legal landscapes while preserving fundamental principles of justice. <\/span><\/div><div class=\"cmtt-footnote-def hidden\" id=\"cmttFootnoteLink18\"><span class=\"cmtt-footnote-def-number\">18. <\/span><span class=\"cmtt-footnote-def-back\"><a class=\"cmtt_footnote_link cmtt-footnote-backlink\" href=\"#cmttFootnoteLink18-0\" style=\"font-size: 14px; color: #325afb; font-style : none ;\"> &#8593; <\/a><\/span><span class=\"cmtt-footnote-def-key\"> <a aria-describedby=\"tt\" href=\"https:\/\/advogados.cv\/en\/glossary\/system\/\" class=\"glossaryLink\" target=\"_blank\">system<\/a>. <\/span><span class=\"cmtt-footnote-def-content\"> A system is a complex arrangement of interconnected components working towards a common goal. Characterised by functional integration and synergy, systems can be physical or conceptual, ranging from biological organisms to organisational structures. Biological systems follow a hierarchical organisation from atomic to cosmic levels, while information systems in computer science focus on algorithmic processes. Systems interact dynamically with their environment through inputs and outputs, maintaining homeostasis through continuous communication between elements. Different types of systems exist across disciplines, including human biological systems such as digestive and nervous systems, and social systems such as economic and legal structures. The core principle underlying all systems is the interdependence of the components, where changes in one part can significantly influence the functionality and performance of the entire system. <\/span><\/div><div class=\"cmtt-footnote-def hidden\" id=\"cmttFootnoteLink19\"><span class=\"cmtt-footnote-def-number\">19. <\/span><span class=\"cmtt-footnote-def-back\"><a class=\"cmtt_footnote_link cmtt-footnote-backlink\" href=\"#cmttFootnoteLink19-0\" style=\"font-size: 14px; color: #325afb; font-style : none ;\"> &#8593; <\/a><\/span><span class=\"cmtt-footnote-def-key\"> <a aria-describedby=\"tt\" href=\"https:\/\/advogados.cv\/en\/glossary\/law-2\/\" class=\"glossaryLink\" target=\"_blank\">law<\/a>. <\/span><span class=\"cmtt-footnote-def-content\"> Law is a complex system of rules that regulate human behaviour through rights and duties, shaped by various social and cultural influences. Rooted in Latin and Sanskrit origins, it encompasses various legal families such as civil law and common law. The field largely distinguishes between public and private law, addressing corporate and individual interests respectively. Its foundations date back to archaic societies, with early codifications such as the Code of Ur-Namu and the Code of Hammurabi. Roman law significantly advanced legal systems, separating law from religion and morality, and developing sophisticated legal concepts. Modern law comes from multiple sources, including state legislation, international treaties and individual contracts. Courts and tribunals apply legal norms through interpretation guided by doctrine, custom and judicial precedent, reflecting the dynamic and adaptive nature of law. <\/span><\/div><div class=\"cmtt-footnote-def hidden\" id=\"cmttFootnoteLink20\"><span class=\"cmtt-footnote-def-number\">20. <\/span><span class=\"cmtt-footnote-def-back\"><a class=\"cmtt_footnote_link cmtt-footnote-backlink\" href=\"#cmttFootnoteLink20-0\" style=\"font-size: 14px; color: #325afb; font-style : none ;\"> &#8593; <\/a><\/span><span class=\"cmtt-footnote-def-key\"> <a aria-describedby=\"tt\" href=\"https:\/\/advogados.cv\/en\/glossary\/custom\/\" class=\"glossaryLink\" target=\"_blank\">custom<\/a>. <\/span><span class=\"cmtt-footnote-def-content\"> Customs are social rules that emerge from long-standing, widespread practices, which establish societal obligations and represent essential cultural values. They evolve through repeated social interactions and subjective convictions, and are distinguished from legal frameworks by aspiring to validity rather than mere effectiveness. The concept covers diverse domains, from traditional practices to behavioural norms, which can transition from prohibited to recognised states over time. In legal contexts, habitual offences reflect an individual's social dangerousness and potential for delinquency, often emerging when previous punitive measures prove ineffective. Related interdisciplinary concepts include customary law, legal anthropology and behavioural studies. Understanding customs requires analysing their historical and cultural contexts, recognising how social practices develop, transform and integrate into specific societal structures. <\/span><\/div><div class=\"cmtt-footnote-def hidden\" id=\"cmttFootnoteLink21\"><span class=\"cmtt-footnote-def-number\">21. <\/span><span class=\"cmtt-footnote-def-back\"><a class=\"cmtt_footnote_link cmtt-footnote-backlink\" href=\"#cmttFootnoteLink21-0\" style=\"font-size: 14px; color: #325afb; font-style : none ;\"> &#8593; <\/a><\/span><span class=\"cmtt-footnote-def-key\"> <a aria-describedby=\"tt\" href=\"https:\/\/advogados.cv\/en\/glossary\/fine\/\" class=\"glossaryLink\" target=\"_blank\">fine<\/a>. <\/span><span class=\"cmtt-footnote-def-content\"> A fine is a pecuniary penalty imposed for violations or infractions, serving as an administrative, criminal or civil sanction. Typically determined by law, fines aim to discourage unlawful behaviour and provide restitution. They can be imposed by government agencies, courts or professional institutions, with amounts calculated based on the seriousness of the offence, potentially taking into account factors such as recidivism and ability to pay. Fines must be paid within a specified timeframe, and failure to comply can result in additional penalties, wage garnishment or asset seizure. Individuals or entities can contest fines through appeal processes, challenging decisions based on procedural errors or disproportionate amounts. Successful appeals can reduce or eliminate the penalty, with disputes potentially heard in administrative or judicial courts. <\/span><\/div><div class=\"cmtt-footnote-def hidden\" id=\"cmttFootnoteLink22\"><span class=\"cmtt-footnote-def-number\">22. <\/span><span class=\"cmtt-footnote-def-back\"><a class=\"cmtt_footnote_link cmtt-footnote-backlink\" href=\"#cmttFootnoteLink22-0\" style=\"font-size: 14px; color: #325afb; font-style : none ;\"> &#8593; <\/a><\/span><span class=\"cmtt-footnote-def-key\"> <a aria-describedby=\"tt\" href=\"https:\/\/advogados.cv\/en\/glossary\/theft\/\" class=\"glossaryLink\" target=\"_blank\">theft<\/a>. <\/span><span class=\"cmtt-footnote-def-content\"> Larceny is a crime involving the unlawful taking of someone else's movable property without violence. Defined in the Brazilian and Portuguese Penal Codes, it differs from theft in that it does not involve a threat. The legal concept recognises various elements, including active and passive subjects of the crime. Historically rooted in social norms, theft has been addressed in religious and legal frameworks since ancient civilisations. The principle of insignificance allows for judicial discretion in trivial cases, considering factors such as minimal offence and low social harm. Empirical research reveals systemic biases in theft prosecutions, with the majority of cases involving low-value goods (0-200 reais) and disproportionately affecting young, unemployed, low-income and non-white people. Legal interpretation varies between property and economic offences, highlighting complexities in the application of criminal justice and potential socio-economic discrimination. <\/span><\/div><\/div><div class=\"cmtt-footnote-bottom-border\"><\/div>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"menu_order":0,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"glossary-categories":[],"glossary-tags":[],"glossary-languages":[],"class_list":["post-1447","glossary","type-glossary","status-publish","hentry"],"post_title":"Crime hediondo","post_content":"A Lei de Crimes Hediondos no Brasil define determinados atos criminosos como excepcionalmente graves, atacando prote\u00e7\u00f5es constitucionais fundamentais.
