The present work seeks, through the theoretical framework of critical criminology, to investigate the possible permanence of mechanisms of colonial punitive power in the repressive control observed in Rio de Janeiro's slums, since the criminal issue is part of a historical, political, economic, and social process, suffering, for this reason, the influence of social phenomena. Thereby, it intends to understand the relationship between peripheral criminological thought and the logic of colonial power, in order to decipher whether there was interference from colonization in criminology. It also studies how the mechanisms of social control are exercised in the Brazilian periphery and whether they are rooted in the colonizing rationality. To this end, the analysis of the element of death in favela spaces is the focal point of this research, with the objective of understanding whether the high mortality rate in these regions is connected to the logic of power used in the colonies. Furthermore, based on the examination of the massacre that took place in the Jacarezinho slum, which proved to be the deadliest in the history of Rio de Janeiro, it investigates the link between the deadly mechanisms employed in this police operation and the configuration of colonial punitive power, from the point of view of critical criminology as a constructor of discourses on the criminal issue. Finally, it examines critical criminology as an element of struggle in the retention of punitive power and its eventual influence in the concrete world. From this study, it seeks to demonstrate, in summary, the historical permanences of violence and death, directed at a certain class of people, in the capitalist structure of social control in Rio's favelas.
