| Sumario: | The text sought to understand the journalistic references about the victims of the Great Massacre of Guamá, which occurred in the city of Belém do Pará in 2019. To this end, we sought to analyze the justifications developed about the aforementioned massacre, which were published on electronic websites of main communication outlets. The concepts of stigma and media criminology are the central pillars of the topic. The methodology used included bibliographic and documentary research, based on Bardin's content analysis (1977), with an emphasis on reporting justifications for the massacre as a thematic persistence. The results showed that, far beyond the eleven exterminated bodies, the reports on the Great Guamá Massacre aimed to establish the blame on the victims of the massacre and the deaths as a result of the “war on drugs.” It was also demonstrated how the criminal justice system operates to legitimize and justify deaths, aiming for penal efficientism. The results demonstrated the predominant role of state agents as media sources in covering violent events, while the justifications for the deaths reinforced stigmatization in a historically segregated neighborhood. |
