SUMMARY:

Social Reproduction Theory redeems the concept of social reproduction developed by Marxist
Feminism for a unitary construction of capitalist social relations that better captures the
Marxian category of social totality. Therefore, as a social theory, the Social Reproduction
Theory contributes to formulate theoretical explanations about social phenomena, including
the object of this research: the global increase of women’s criminalization under
neoliberalism. Thus, in order to theoretically analyze the global increase of women’s
criminalization since the advent of neoliberalism, this dissertation proposes a dialogue
between the Social Reproduction Theory and the Marxist Critique of Law, formed here by the
combination of the classical critique of the legal form by Evguiéni B. Pachukanis and the
recent theory of social-legal reproduction of capitalism theorized by Guilherme Gonçalves.
This is, then, an explanatory research with a qualitative approach, which uses bibliographic
and documental review techniques, based on the dialectical historical materialist method that
informs the theoretical frameworks of this research. This dialogue in the historical materialist
dialectic pointed to the two essential dimensions to analyze the overall increase in the
criminalization of women in neoliberalism: inserting both the sphere of social reproduction
and the legal phenomenon in capitalist social relations. Thus, it was concluded that the
criminalization of women is a stage of legal violence arising from capitalist expropriation for
the purpose of social discipline and that it is in the context of the crisis of neoliberal social
reproduction that the conditions by which more women have become criminalized have been
formed. Therefore, by establishing the criminalization of women as a determinant of
neoliberal capitalism, this dissertation contributes to the collective project of Social
Reproduction Theory to understand which are the points of determinations and/or
contradictions that must necessarily be understood as constitutive of the capitalist system in
order to then be considered for its overcoming within it.
