To achieve its research goals, historical questions were discussed as they collaborated for the construction of the current social scene as an on going racial stratification situation. It’s also discussed the differences and characteristics of hate crimes motivated by racism and prejudice, based on the Penal Code of Brazil of 1940, and the theories from the XIX century (The Lombrosian Theory and Social Evolutionism) that made popular the idea of the pathologization of the criminal through their physical characteristics, associating a certain profile to a criminal conduct which reinforces the idea that the crime correlates to a physical pattern. In this way, notices the presence of the same chain of thought as an influence upon the current criminal legislation. As a method of research, it was a choice to apply the Labelling Approach Theory with the goal of indicating what the Critical Criminology discusses about the subject in question.Acesso AbertoCárcere-senzalaRacismoLegislaçãoCriminalizaçãoSlave-prisonRacismLegislationCriminalizationTrabalho de Conclusão de CursoCiências Sociais AplicadasDireito
