JUSTICE IN PERNAMBUCO OF THE EIGHTEENTH: the crimes against the safety of honor (1831-1850)
Abstract
The Criminal Code of the Empire, which would come to be the first genuinely Brazilian code, was published in 1830. Along with the Code of Criminal Procedure from 1832, it brought rules to regulate prosecutions in Brazil after its Independence. The structure and organization set out in these norms were reformed in 1841, with Law n. 261, which was soon regulated in 1842. This was all part of the social context in Brazil in the first half of the 1800s. This article aims to contribute to the understanding of the history of Criminal Justice in Pernambuco, from 1831 to 1850, a time period in which occurred several changes of structures in the Judiciary. It is admitted that, for the study to be carried out, it is essential to know how the jurisdictional provision was carried out, which was made possible by the analysis of legal proceedings. This text brings, through the analysis of the criminal processes of the crimes of rape, kidnapping, slander and injury, a fragment of how Justice was carried out in the selected period, as well as who were the accused, in that social context.
