Jurimetria: a construção de uma criminologia pós-moderna

Abstract

Since the emergence of capitalism, society has gradually transformed into a postmodern society, characterized by advancements in science, arts, technology, and information exchange, but also marked by uncertainty and constant change, becoming a society of risks. To deal with the challenges of this society, it is necessary to establish mechanisms for risk control and management, as well as reconcile technological evolution. In this context, post-modern criminology, through the prism of criminal statistics, needs to adopt a new tool for studying and evaluating to understand and solve the challenges arising from this society of risks. Thus, the aim of this work is to demonstrate the use of Jurimetrics as a new assisting tool for post-modern criminology that, through planning, forecasting, prognostics, and indicative parameters of efficient criminal policies, no longer admits legal reforms based on intuitions. Therefore, in order to make use of this new tool, it is necessary to build a business model and data analysis by a legal operator capable of extracting and collecting relevant data. Finally, the use of Jurimetrics in a practical case of on-Persecution Agreement will be explained, which successfully reformed this legal institution and developed a more rational penal doctrine and more efficient criminal policy
