| Sumario: | This article aims to reflect on the existing feedback relationship between neoliberalism, corruption and the penal system. Corruption today is publicized as the worst evil in the country, responsible for the social ills that the population experiences, and which, for this reason, must be fought in an uncompromising way. For this combat, the penal system is activated, which would have the supposed function of suppressing it. However, what is not discussed is the neoliberal system, which contributes and often promotes corruption, and which, by using the penal system, far from eradicating corruption, creates more favorable conditions for the achievement of neoliberal policies. In order to discuss this issue, firstly, the problem about the concept of corruption is briefly exposed. Later, it talks about neoliberalism, relating it to corruption and the penal system. The last part of the work discusses the criminalization of corruption and its social effects. Finally, in the final considerations, we briefly resume what has been discussed and seek to demonstrate the correlation between neoliberalism, corruption and the penal system, and the way in which they support the existence of one and the other. The bibliographic review procedure was used to situate, investigate and interpret the problem, using as a reference the works of academics, sociologists and criminologists who critically deal with the topic addressed. |
