  • Autoritarismo e Sistema Penal

    Christiano Fragoso
    Publisher: Lumen Juris, Rio de Janeiro/RJ
    444 pages. Edition: 2nd (December 2016)
    This book contains, with some minor changes, the study by means of which Christiano Fragoso has obtained his Ph. D. in Law from Rio de Janeiro State University, in 2011. I had the refreshed pleasure of following closely the development of the work; refreshed because, a few years before, I had been able to advise him in his master’s degree dissertation, which brilliantly demonstrated the uselessness of creating a legal type, the strike offense, for the treatment of hard cases (workers in the health area, flight controllers, etc.) that make the news anchors beg for knocks and arrests (Repressão Penal da Greve – uma experiência antidemocrática, S. Paulo, 2009, IBCCrim).
  • Repressão Penal da Greve

    Christiano Fragoso
    Publisher: Lumen Juris, Rio de Janeiro/RJ
    432 pages. Edition: 1st (December 2016)
    This work, with which Christiano Fragoso obtained his Master’s degree in Criminal Law and Criminology from Candido Mendes University, is definitely the most brilliant and exhaustive legal-criminal study on the criminalization of the claims and struggles of Brazilian workers. First of all, I would like to point out the methodological opening that runs through all the research, and can be seen in a realistic pretension that at some point Christiano summarized as follows: “the legal concept of a strike must fit as much as possible to the social concept of strike, rather than the other way around.”
  • Reflexões criminológicas e dogmáticas acerca do crime de desobediência

    Christiano Fragoso, Patricia Mothé Glioche Béze, Vera Malaguti Batista
    Revan, Rio de Janeiro/RJ
    124 pages. Edition: 1st (June 2016)
    This book addresses the extent of disobedience, which is a fact that, in itself, should be a consequence of the right of individuals to choose whether or not to comply with a court order or an order from any other public official, and that currently represents an unreasonable number of situations in which the legislator imposes compliance to individuals, intimidating them with the occurrence of crime and arrest, although the failure to comply therewith could generate other types of sanctions, other than a criminal act.
  • Escritos Transdisciplinares de Criminologia, Direito e Processo Penal - Homenagem aos Mestres Vera Malaguti e Nilo Batista

    Christiano Fragoso, Rodrigo Falk Fragoso
    Revan, Rio de Janeiro/RJ
    1152 pages. Edition: 1st (2014)
    This book in honor of Professors Vera Malaguti and Nilo Batista consists of a collection of reflective and critical writings on the punitive system, Criminology, Criminal Law, and Criminal Procedural Law, of Brazilian and foreign professors, among which some of the most outstanding representatives of the criminal sciences today. Christiano Fragoso’s article, entitled “Código Criminal e Código Criminoso: subsídios e notas ao Código Penal nazista de 1936,” shows the fundamental features of the 1936 Nazi Criminal Code Bill, pointing out the strong influence of Nazi ideology in the creation of new types of criminal offenses and in the reformulation of legal-criminal concepts. The article by Rodrigo Falk Fragoso, entitled “Deve a Lei Penal Punir a Manipulação do Mercado de Capitais?”, presents a critical analysis of the legal objectivity and of the elements constituting the crime set forth under article 27-C of Law 6385, of December 7, 1976.
  • Pareceres Selecionados - Pareceres Selecionados Emitidos pela Comissão Permanente de Direito Penal do Instituto dos Advogados Brasileiros

    Christiano Fragoso, Rodrigo Falk Fragoso
    Pod Editores, Rio de Janeiro/RJ
    Edition: 1st (2014)
    Gathering opinions prepared by the members of the Permanent Commission of Criminal Law of the IAB, the book contains works approved by the IAB Panel and sent to the National Congress, with the purpose of contributing to the improvement of the legitimate and democratic legal order. The opinion written by Christiano Fragoso addresses the Constitutional Amendment Bill that is intended to provide the Police Authority and the Prosecution Service with the power to know the financial and tax operations of the people under investigation, since such data would be considered, for investigation purposes, no longer protected under the individual guarantee of confidentiality of financial or banking information. The opinions issued by Rodrigo Falk Fragoso address the Constitutional Amendment Bill that is intended to create an “Administrative Improbity Court”, under the argument that the acts of corruption are not punished, and also address the Bill that is intended to define new acts of Administrative Improbity, in a clear tendency to make Criminal Law closer to Sanctioning Administrative Law.
  • Crimes de furto e de roubo

    Christiano Fragoso, Patricia Glioche
    Revan, Rio de Janeiro/RJ
    276 pages. Edition: 1st
    Theft and robbery offenses account for approximately 28% of imprisoned people in the country; one out of four people arrested in Brazil is serving time for theft or robbery. The considerable practical importance of the discussions on the dogmatic aspects of these crimes is also indicated by a profusion of stare decisis and court decisions on several legal and criminal matters related to theft and robbery, and which have brought plenty of innovations in recent times, despite the legislative changes occurred regarding these crimes.
