A responsabilidade civil foi a área do Direito que mais sofreu mudanças a partir do século XX, sobretudo em decorrência da revolução industrial que intensifica a produção e o consumo, culminando no reconhecimento de novos danos. Neste contexto, torna-se necessário repensar as funções da responsabilidade civil sendo que, além do escopo compensatório a indenização deve atender a uma finalidade punitiva ou pedagógica, à semelhança dos punitive damages nos Tribunais norte-americanos. A pesquisa tem o objetivo de analisar as críticas formuladas à introdução do instituto em nosso ordenamento, bem como delimitar os critérios para a sua aplicação. / The civil liability is the field of law that has incurred in the most intensive changes since the 20th century, due to, mainly, the development of new technologies that have increased the production and the consume, resulting in the recognition of new sort of damages. In this context, it is paramount to revisit the purposes of the civil liability system, because the indemnification must attend the purposes of punishment and deterrence. This research aims to analyze the critics to the introduction of the punitive damages in Brazilian civil law and to fix the criteria to its application.

Este estudo tem como propósito compreender a função punitiva da responsabilidade civil no Brasil com suas características e peculiaridades. São desenvolvidos 10 capítulos para a compreensão do tema. Inicia-se uma análise com a compreensão da própria ideia de função. Posteriormente passa-se a uma específicas funções da responsabilidade civil. É realizado, também, uma incursão histórica no campo da responsabilidade civil para entender a origem da função punitiva. Após, realiza-se uma análise das objeções da função punitiva para, posteriormente, desenvolver sua natureza jurídica; seus objetivos; pressupostos e requisitos; a experiência; e o desenvolvimento dogmático em outros países. O estudo percorre, ainda, as técnicas de aplicação da função punitiva, bem como suas fontes positivadas e a sua interpretação jurisprudencial. / This study aims to understand the function of punitive liability in Brazil with its characteristics and peculiarities. 10 chapters are developed for the understanding of the topic. Begins with an analysis to understand the very idea of function. Later goes to a specific function of the indemnity. It also conducted a historical foray into the field of civil responsibility to understand the origin of the punitive function. After, we make an analysis of the objections of the punitive function to subsequently develop their legal nature, your goals, requirements and assumptions, the experience, and the dogmatic development in other countries. The study also runs the technical application of the punitive function as well as their sources positivadas and its judicial interpretation.

This thesis conducted a secondary quantitative analysis to test predictors of punitive attitudes about the best overall and youth crime reduction methods in Saskatchewan, and to examine an integrated perspective developed from Bourdieu’s concept of habitus. My research questions were twofold: 1) What are the valid predictors of punitive attitudes toward overall and youth crime respectively? 2) Is there a difference in punitive attitudes between overall crime and youth crime? For my research methodology, I relied on a secondary quantitative analysis of data from Taking the Pulse of Saskatchewan 2012, a survey conducted by the Social Sciences Research Laboratories (SSRL) of the University of Saskatchewan. The data used in this thesis was taken from Section (F), Crime and Public Safety in Saskatchewan, and Section (H), demographics. I examined three types of predictors: demographics, fear of crime, and perception of crime trends. The demographic variables were gender, age, education, marital status, race, and total annual household income. The relationship between these predictors and the public’s punitive attitudes were first examined with a bivariate analysis. Then logistic regression analysis was used to determine the effect of a selected predictor of punitive attitudes when other predictors were controlled. This thesis reported three major findings. First, the mutual predictors of punitive attitudes towards overall and youth crime are age, education, marital status, and perceived crime trends, while gender is significant only for overall crime, and race is significant only for youth crime when other variables are controlled. Secondly, with regard to the magnitude of influence, the variables perceived crime trends and education are the strongest predictors among all the predictors considered in this study, but any single predictor only has small impact on punitive attitudes. Finally, respondents are generally less punitive towards youth crime than overall crime. This thesis revealed that an integrated Bourdieuian perspective used in this study helped link the predictors in a more explanatory manner, and contributed to a more critical and contextual understanding of punitive attitudes. The empirical results reported in this thesis produced knowledge about punitive attitudes in Saskatchewan, and contributed to the literature on predictors of such attitudes.
