Abstract

In addition to the reflections on the need to justify legal reforms, the focus of this paper lies in the assessment of the viability of the criminal and procedural measures taken since 2003 to face minor recidivist crime, though the goal of the procedural reforms aimed to achieve the immediate prosecution of the offenses, it was meant to limit the possibilities to apply the new types of recidivist offense upgraded to criminal offense. These criminal offenses required certain amount of time for its accumulation without previous trial. Our hypothesis has been confirmed by the data. However, we believe there is scope for the application of these rules, thus the last part of the paper focuses on this issue and analyzes what changes ought to be undertaken by lawyers to contribute to its effectiveness.
