Abstract: The present work intends to analyze the current position of the psychopath in the Brazilian legal system, and how it fits into the legally described definition of crime, observing whether the positions taken regarding this figure are ideal – and what to do if not –, taking into consideration, what is already known about the topic. The question was approached using the inductive method, with descriptive and explanatory research. In addition, documentary and bibliographic consultations, primary and secondary, were used to reach the conclusion. Case studies were not thoroughly explored, but were used as examples when necessary.
