Abstract

This paper analyzes the effectiveness of the Alternative Penalty Policy at the Alternative Penalties and Measures Center in the City of Porto Nacional - Tocantins. To achieve this goal, a research of applied nature was elaborated, with a qualitative approach, descriptive and exploratory purposes, counting on the development of a case study. The specific objectives are to analyze how the process of implementation of the Policy of Penal Alternatives is at the state level, as well as to verify the rate of criminal recidivism in cases of those sentenced to the restrictive penalty of rights in CEPEMA of Porto Nacional. Regarding the state level, it was found that the actions are aligned with the guidelines of the National Policy on Penal Alternatives, and that the current paradigm scenario is extremely promising. In relation to the local recidivism rate, considering the concept of legal recidivism, adopted by Brazilian legislation, a study was conducted involving individuals who were serving sentences restricting rights in the year 2016, and were accompanied by CEPEMA, identifying which ones returned to delinquency in the period of five years after the first condemnation, between the years 2017 and 2021, making up the statistical index of 23% of recidivism. Finally, the results obtained were systematized in Excel program spreadsheets, being transformed into statistical graphs, ensuring a clear and didactic exposition of the results obtained.
