SUMMARY:

Over the past few decades, Brazilian society has seen a rapid expansion in homicide rates in almost all regions of the country. Among all locations, the state of Alagoas stood out negatively, as it occupied the top of the ranking of lethal violence for 9 years – from 2006 to 2014, in proportional terms. The level reached by Alagoas as one of the states where the most homicides occur in the country and the non-mandatory university internship developed in one of the capital's jury prosecutors during the years 2014 to 2016, where there was the opportunity to analyze investigations and criminal proceedings involving , mostly completed and attempted murders, motivated people to try to understand the causes of this violent and lethal crime, which affects more directly the marginal strata of society and, since that period, has shown itself to be linked to the illegal drug trade. Based on this primary perception, we chose to divide this work into three parts. In the first chapter, we brought the specialized literature on the topic of drugs, in order to address criminological, political-criminal and legal issues, in which the issue of drug prohibitionism and its effects on selected subjects was highlighted, and then , the very power of informal control of drug trafficking. In the second and third chapters we present the result of the empirical research developed and derived from the investigation of electronic lawsuits - which include completed police inquiries -, judged by the Jury Court of the three judicial units - 7th, 8th and 9th courts -, in the year 2019, competent to prosecute and judge crimes against life. There, we present the data produced on an eminently quantitative basis, through graphs, tables and figures, in order to identify whether the crimes of homicide committed are related to drug trafficking and how they are linked. In the third, which was not available at that time - qualification -, we intend to work especially with qualitative data, through the reports of those involved in the criminal action, as well as witnesses and deponents. The result achieved and presented so far proposes that more of the half of the murders against life tried by the three judicial units mentioned had, in some way, to do with the trade – and consumption – of drugs. Furthermore, combining the present with other studies with a similar perspective, the hypothesis of a problem of increased severity can be suggested.
