This doctoral thesis has the objective of examining recidivism in the context of constitutional criminal procedure. The latter has as primary purpose to protect the citizen based on guarantees and fundamental rights. Recidivism is an old principle in the Brazilian legal system, which has undergone minor changes throughout the history of the evolution of Criminal Law and Criminal Procedural Law. Besides acting as an aggravating circumstance to the penalty, it has negative consequences for the defendant in several stages of the criminal proceedings. In spite of having been claimed constitutional by the Supreme Court, there are many issues on recidivism and its application, which are, currently, automatic. Therefore, the analysis of this subject draws on the conception of a system devised by several scholars who point out the need to consider the whole in the first place and only then evaluate the isolated application of certain principles of law, and seek to change them. In this context, it is imperative to understand the criminal justice system and the foundation that should support it based on the Constitution of 1988. After the study of both the peculiarities of recidivism and doctrinal and jurisprudential discussions, this investigation questions the reason why it is kept applicable as well as its practical implications. Along this line, there is the problem of the prison system that reveals, according to some research, large numbers of recidivism with the manifestation of criminal selectivity and neutralization of criminals, implicit in the execution of the sentence. Finally, from the analysis of the Criminal Policy model adopted by the Democratic Rule of Law, the study will point out the need to change the recidivism principle in Brazil. This will directly reflect on the problem of prison overcrowding and the ineffectiveness of rehabilitation of the penalty. The final aim is to contribute with criminal proceedings so that they could be, in fact, an instrument that would perform a social function
