A influência midiática na aplicação de medidas alternativas à pena privativa de liberdade no processo criminal

Abstract

The influence of the media in the daily life of contemporary society is indisputably operative in the construction of public opinion. Among the content variables produced by media vehicles, the penal area stands out for dealing with themes experienced daily by the population. Prompted by fear, the media nourishes in these individuals the idea of ​​impunity and fallibility of the criminal system, generating the need for punishment and incarceration of offenders. Consequently, alternative measures capable of effectively resolving the consequences of the criminal event are minimized and rejected by society, which is why they deserve special attention. To this end, the present work aims to reveal how the media negatively influences the application of these measures and the possible benefits arising from their application, based on the analysis of the communication vehicles and the information transmitted by them. It should be emphasized that the analysis of news composes a fundamental factor of the present research, to be carried out through the inductive method
