With the expansion of penal law and the (re)emerging of punitiveness, due to deep economical, social, political and cultural transformations, one can observe a substantial changing in the conception of crime in the contemporaneous society. In this context, the texts of Constitutions have incorporated new values rooted on diffused and transindividual interests, related to economy, environment and others. Because of some behaviors in the economic field are being considered crime, the creation of new juridicial-punishing relevant spaces alters the vulnerable position of some agents who were immune to penal system then. For this, the present study proposes a (re)argumentation about penal system selectivity, regarding contemporaneous transformations, by comparing white collar crime – in this case the option was tributary crime – and burglary, due to the agents’ social profile who, in general, perform these kinds of penal transgression. On one hand, coherently with the logic of expansion in the penal law, one can verify indications of a posture change in some of the crime agencies (primary and secondary) seeking the effective punishment to white collar criminals. On the other, several legal selectivity filters are created with the objective of preventing these behaviors from being judged in criminal courts. Moreover, although these new spaces of penal risk were created, the selectivity situation of penal system goes on the same, mainly when they turn toward the prison system.
