This paper aims to analyze the criminal policy and its foundations in Fortaleza at the beginning of the 20th century, highlighting how the Lombrosian criminal doctrines fostered discourses that associated crime with misery and vice, as well as the discussion of surveillance and social control mechanisms aimed at reordering the urban and social space. In this sense, we intend to analyze how the criminal policy was constituted from the appropriation of ideas from the modern criminology, developed by the intellectual and political elite, in addition to highlighting the relationship that the state maintained with the poor contingent of the population, treated as “dangerous classes”.Downloads
