RESUMO:

The processes of exclusion of certain social groups in Brazil, comprise a network of intricate aspects, which together build what is understood and accepted as social reality. The characteristics associated with members of groups and the situation of poverty, configured by normative, pathological and alienating elements, act as justifiers for the maintenance of social structures that classify behaviors and delimit social spaces. The criminalization of poverty is part of this logic, having in the punitivist paradigm the representation of a social order that acts selectively. With the purpose of discussing the aforementioned issues, this dissertation has the general objective to understand the social representations that jurists who work or have worked in the criminal procedural area of Justice of the city of Salvador build regarding individuals in situations of poverty, from the analysis of their speeches, and the establishment of relationships between such representations with the phenomena of attitudes towards poverty and belief in the just world. To this end, this dissertation was divided into two studies. The first seeks to understand social representations from the analysis of interviews and a questionnaire containing scales of belief in the just world (BJW) and attitudes towards poverty (ATP), carried out with jurists who work in Special Criminal Courts in the city of Salvador. In this first study, ATP was used in a personal and substitution context, in which participants imagined how other jurists would think. The second study, on the other hand, investigated the relationship between social representations of people in poverty built by jurists from the criminal area of Salvador, and the phenomena of attitudes towards poverty and belief in the just world, using a questionnaire composed of scales of CMJ and ATP, and technique of free association of words in personal and substitution context. In both studies, participants tended to have greater agreement with the structural factor of ATP, and greater disagreement with factors related to personal disability and stigma, as well as with itens of CMJ. The substitution contexts of the two studies pointed to a tendency towards individualistic and stigmatizing representations. The perception of institutional discrimination in the legal sphere was also indicated as reproducing the structural prejudice of society, in relation to black and poor individuals. Understanding the structural causes of poverty is considered important in raising awareness of its historical and political origins, but care must be taken that individuals in positions of power do not see themselves as alien to this system, naturalizing and maintaining the current status quo.
