Uma análise da possibilidade de aplicação do princípio da insignificância nos crimes de furto

Abstract

This Course Completion Work aims to study the principle of insignificance and its applicability to theft crimes. Firstly, its origin within Law was analyzed and, secondly, its insertion in Criminal Law. Subsequently, other principles were observed that influence the principle of insignificance, as well as its legal nature and its formalities for application in a crime. Subsequently, the crime of theft was studied, its concept, its characteristics, its protected legal asset, its material and legal objects, and an important distinction between the crime of theft and the figure named by the doctrine as “theft of use”. Finally, the application of the current principle was investigated in each type of theft, based on the requirements imposed by the Federal Supreme Court (STF), the doctrinal opinion and the jurisprudence of the Brazilian Courts. The research was bibliographic, based on the most relevant academic works on the subject, including scientific articles, master's dissertations and doctoral theses present on the Scielo platform, a virtual library of Brazilian scientific journals in electronic format. The monograph uses a qualitative approach through a detailed analysis of criminal doctrine and, in addition, Court decisions.
