The concern that drives the present work arises from the need to methodologically rethink brazilian criminal policy, especially the discursive role of the concept of “penal populism” in brazilian criminological literature. The present research seeks to understand the origins, development and impacts of the concept of "populism" and its relationship with "penal populism" to describe the brazilian political and political-criminal reality in recent decades that confesses the belief in punishment as an inseparable dogma of the punitive mentality. This is a theoretical research, with an exploratory and bibliographic analisis, carried out through the qualitative study of literary and normative materials, organizing and debating them based on data collected in research and scientific journals. It is hoped that, after reading the research, it is clear that there is a need to start new ways of knowing the criminal issue, especially within the scope of what is defined as “penal populism” in brazil.
