   Brazilian judicial system is not reliable. There is so much corruption: the judicial decisions can be changed according to how much money the guilty person has. People who have money to pay for good lawyers and, maybe, bribes don't have so heavy sentences as people who don't have money for this.

     For example, once a group of youngsters set fire on an Indian and, because their parents could afford good lawyers, they didn't have to stay in jail for a long time. On the other hand, there is a lot of youngsters on CAJE who comited crimes and stay there for long time because their parents can't pay someone to defend them. They depend on public lawyers who don't care so much about their clients as the private lawyers do.

    Thinking on these cases, we can conclude that it is not necessarily lack of money that makes people commit crimes. There are a lot of guys that come from families which have money and they commit crimes because of different reasons. Some of them commit passional crimes, but in the case of the Indian, they only wanted to have fun by challenging the rules.

      So, the justice is greatly influenced by economical differences, but these differences can't be considered the only factor that produces crimes. A better income distribution would reduce crimes when they are motivated by lack of money, but not passional crimes and other cases of crimes motivated by different reasons.
