A INTERSEÇÃO ENTRE A CIDADANIA E O DIREITO PENAL: AS PENAS E SUAS IMPLICAÇÕES PARA A CONDIÇÃO DE CIDADÃO

Abstract

This article aims to address the intersection between citizenship and criminal law: penalties and their implications for citizenship. Given the need to ensure the enforcement of fundamental rights and guarantees when sentencing, whether for the defendant or the victim, constitutional criminal principles such as due process, adversarial proceedings, and the principles of proportionality and legality of punishment must be present. Furthermore, given the social effects of sentencing, along with its repercussions on the convict's family, protecting citizenship is a fundamental milestone in guaranteeing the human dignity of the convict, their family, and, consequently, society as a whole.
