Da suspeição policial a condenação por conta do cabelo: análise do caso Bárbara Querino

Abstract

Composing a detailed study of the case Bárbara Querino de Oliveira, a young black woman, resident of the outskirts of São Paulo, this article aims to expose the informalities of the evidential act through personal recognition after the photographic recognition, which ended up including yet another young black woman in the prison environment after being recognized by white, upper middle-class victims because of their curly hair and black skin. As well as demonstrating the presence of police selectivity in relation to race / color and class that ratifies institutional racism. Also, to highlight the existence of racial filtering - an expression used in the United States in the face of selective attitudes of State representatives, brought about by a study carried out with police in Pernambuco. The Brazilian judicial system sentenced this young black woman to five years and eight months, through a single means of evidence.
