Article published by Carolina Toledo,\u00a0consultant for the Institutional Violence programme at Conectas, Silvia Souza,\u00a0legal assistant at Conectas and Maria Clara D\u2019\u00c1vila, member of the Rede Justi\u00e7a Criminal, on the site, <\/b>Justificando<\/i><\/b>.\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n

Throughout history, eugenics has sought to justify the unjustifiable and in Brazil and a number of other parts of the world, it has served to underpin atrocities perpetrated against millions of black people through their enslavement by colonists. Based simply on the idea that black people are naturally inferior in all aspects of the human condition this is, undoubtedly, the worst disgrace in the history of humanity.<\/span><\/p>\n

And in the present day it is clear how some of the current players are inspired by these old racist concepts in their attempt to reinstate them in our legal system, as is the case of the image of the \u2018typical criminal\u2019, in bill number 882\/2019, one of the proposals in the \u2018Anticrime\u2019 Package, presented in February by Minister S\u00e9rgio Moro.<\/span><\/p>\n
