Acordo de não persecução penal – ANPP e o sistema judiciário: análise dos impactos na comarca de Zé Doca-MA, no período de 2020 à 2023

Abstract

This research sought to discuss the Non-Prosecution Agreement and the Judicial System, focusing on the District of Zé Doca-MA. Starting from the point that the Non- Prosecution Agreement (ANPP) is an innovative legal mechanism that aims to optimize the judicial system by offering a quick solution for cases of less serious crimes. Introduced by the anti-crime package in 2019, the ANPP allows the Public Prosecutor's Office to offer the accused the possibility of avoiding traditional criminal proceedings by fulfilling certain conditions, such as reparation for damages and serving alternative sentences. The methodology used was bibliographic and field research, where the first was characterized by the search and analysis of existing materials on the topic addressed, which guarantees validity and reliability in the study. At the time, the following theorists were supported: Almeida (2021); Ferreira (2020); Gomes (2020); Lopes (2021); Mendes (2020); Santos (202); Ribeiro (2021), among others. The field research was carried out through the application of a questionnaire, aimed at the Secretary of Justice of the District under study, consisting of 7 (seven) open-ended questions. The results show that the implementation of the ANPP presents significant benefits for the efficiency of the judicial system. By avoiding the complete processing of cases, the ANPP reduces the workload of the courts, allowing judges and other legal professionals to focus on more complex and serious cases. In addition, the implementation of this agreement contributes to the saving of public resources, by minimizing the expenses associated with long and expensive processes. However, while the ANPP represents a step forward in the modernization of the judicial system, its implementation must be carefully monitored to ensure that its benefits are widely distributed and that criminal justice is adequately balanced.
