Popis: The increasing of violence in Brazil affects the fundamental right to public security. When the State does not sufficiently protects a fundamental right there is a violation of the so-called untermassverbot principle. This paper aims to explore the interpretation of the article #152 of the brazilian procedural criminal code under the untermassverbot principle. The traditional interpretation understands that the criminal procedure will be stopped, but the prescription penal period is not equally interrupted. It is proposed a new reading of that article, under the approaches of the proportionality principle and the integral penal guaranteeism.
