A (NÃO) INCIDÊNCIA DO PRINCÍPIO DA INSIGNIFICÂNCIA NOS CRIMES AMBIENTAIS

Abstract

This article analyzes whether, at present, the principle of insignificance is applied to environmental crimes. It is sought, through studies of doctrines and judgments of the Supreme Court, to analyze environmental crimes under the logic of their importance to contemporary society. Some judgments of the Supreme Court will be analyzed in order to verify if, in fact, the principle of insignificance has an impact on environmental crimes. This research is justified by the fact of investigating how the environmental issue is addressed in the jurisdictional environment today.
