This dissertation examines the issue of prejudice and the limits faced by Criminal Law when dealing with it. Starting from an interdisciplinary analysis regarding multiple forms of violence, this qualitative, retrospective, and descriptive study takes a critical approach to the processes that eventually criminalized the resulting prejudice and limits of Criminal Law. Therefore, and because of its link to the “Criminology and Social Control” research line, within the area “Criminal Law and Violence” of the Post-Graduation Program on Criminal Law of Rio Grande do Sul Catholic University Law School, this dissertation shows in a non-linear way the distinct approaches on prejudice in its broader sense as well as violence related to it. After that integrated exam, the study goes on to the treatment given by Criminal Law and specifically by Brazilian Criminal Law to prejudice and its expressions, relating them to the historical tenets for positivating the right to equality and the use of criminal law to effect it. Parallel to such explanation, resulting conclusions are accounted for, having been selected as “dysfunctions in criminalizing prejudice”, where main limitations and contradictions shown by Brazil’s criminal law system when it invests in punishment as a device to fight prejudice and its resulting practices are pointed out.
