La construcción de la verdad jurídica es considerada como un proceso que se realiza en la relación entre representación, poder y narraciones y, a través del análisis de documentos y testimonios de una causa penal específica, se pretende mostrar cómo operan los discursos estigmatizantes sobre hombres jóvenes de los sectores pobres de la sociedad en las intervenciones del tribunal.

Este artigo fornece um olhar sobre as formas concretas através das quais a verdade jurídica é construída em casos de violência policial. A construção da verdade jurídica aqui é considerada como um processo que se realiza na relação entre representação, poder e narração. Através da análise de documentos e depoimentos em um processo criminal específico, busca-se mostrar como operam os discursos estigmatizantes sobre homens jovens dos setores pobres da sociedade através das intervenções do judiciário. Assim, argumenta-se que o sistema penal, ao garantir um alto grau de impunidade em casos de violência policial, se constitui como um dos mecanismos que possibilitam essa mesma violência.

This article aims to shed light on the concrete ways in which "the juridical truth" is constructed in cases of police violence. The construction of the juridical truth is considered as a process that occurs in the interplay between representation, power and narratives. Through an analysis of documents and testimonies from a specific penal case, the aim is to show how stigmatizing discourses about young men from the poor sectors of society operate through the interventions of the tribunal. It is argued that the penal system, guaranteeing a high degree of impunity in cases of police violence, constitutes one of the mechanisms that enable that very same violence. |
