Resumo

On October 5, 2016, the Brazilian Federal Supreme Court decided that imprisonment of convicts in se-cond-instance before the res judicata does not affect article 283 of the Penal Code. The objective of this study is to analyze, without judging the constitutional-ity of the novel juridical act, the hypothesis that “the possibility of imprisonment of convicts in second instance was a correct decision to reduce crime and its social cost”. This hypothesis is not rejected pursuant to the economic theory of crime.
