SUMMARY:

The theme addressed in this dissertation is the Criminal Justice System (CJS). Seen, at the outset, as marked by violence and formed within the contradictions of capital-labor, which is particularized in the contradictions between the center and the periphery of the capitalist mode of production. The general objective is to analyze how the phenomenon of state violence is related to the dependent form of capitalism in Brazil, and the specific objectives are: (1) to analyze the relationship between dependent state and extra-economic violence and (2) to discuss the increase in extra-economic violence in the present moment of capitalism. We are based on Marxian social theory and Marxism, with capital-labor contradiction, historical-dialectical materialism and the perspective of the revolution as key points. This is a theoretical essay, seeking not a definitive answer, but the advancement of questions in understanding CJS in Brazilian dependent capitalism. Moving from a more abstract level of analysis to a more concrete one, the research begins by pointing out the relationship between capitalism and violence, especially in the relationship between economic and extra-economic violence; expropriation, exploitation and oppression; sociometabolism of capital and state; and structural crisis. Subsequently, we discussed the particularity of dependent capitalism, the Brazilian social formation and the overexploitation of the workforce. Then we discuss the conformation of the CJS, its shape in Latin America and its current shape. That said, in the final chapter, we discussed the relationship between dependent capitalism, dependent state and extra-economic violence, and then proposed some notes for an economic-political understanding of the CJS in the face of the structural crisis and its relationship with dependent capitalism, with the Industrial-Prison Complex category. With the discussion in place, we seek to analyze how extra-economic violence, especially state violence, becomes an economic power of capitalism, which conforms and is shaped by the dialectic of dependence and which contributes to the accumulation of capital and imperialist hegemony.
