Authoritarianism, a complex social phenomenon that is widely studied by Political Science and by Social Psychology, is researched in this thesis in its articulations with the criminal system. As authoritarianism is derived from power, and the criminal system is derived from the law, the concepts of power and law are studied in their peculiarities and interrelationships. Further on, there is the analysis of the history of construction of the authority concept, and the political and social-psychological contexts in which the term authoritarianism has been employed, and, thereafter, the analysis of its interrelationships with the criminal system, in an abstract and conceptual manner. It is noted that authoritarianism is a structural characteristic of any and all criminal system, being shown in the most varied agencies of this system, and in all its plans: in primary criminalization (i.e., enactment of criminal laws), in secondary criminalization (i.e., concrete application of punitive power to concrete authors), in the positive power that shapes social life, in the criminal legal speech (in the jurists' theories), and in the parallel and subterranean criminal systems. As work cases, the Nazi German criminal system and the contemporary Brazilian criminal system are examined, also trying to find out whether and to what extent there are any coincidences in political-criminal proposals and concrete practices of punitive power.
