Os efeitos das mídias na integridade da investigação criminal

Abstract

Cases that are highly visible in the media, for having elements considered interesting for the construction of a story, usually present an investigative walk hampered by social pressure generated by such repercussions. These losses can be caused by the loss of evidence, undue accusation, inefficiency, among several others consequences that will be dealt with in the work progress. In addition, the strong presence of the media in the investigations puts the fundamental rights of those investigated in conflict, such as the inviolability of image, honor, privacy and presumption of innocence, with the guarantees given by the Federal Constitution to the press, such as freedom of expression, thought and information. For society to function democratically with all rights respected to the best possible extent, parameters must be established so that this relationship between media and criminal law exists without further losses. In the present work, the study on the rights of each sector will be in depth, in order to finally present suggestions that balance the performance of the media with respect for the rights of those involved.
