This research was conducted through an exploratory and critically descriptive mode, based on literature and jurisprudential analysis. The chosen approach methods were both deductive and dialectical. Therefore, in the first chapter, the context in which the legislation about criminal organization was created is characterized, going through some aspects of the expansion of criminal law, modernity and economic globalization, considering feelings of fear , security and risk . In the second chapter, the entity criminal organization is analyzed, considering its presence in national and international legal system (principle of legality). The last chapter focuses on verifying the superior courts (Superior Tribunal de Justiça e Supremo Tribunal Federal) jurisprudence, from which it s possible to see the difficulty of dealing with a crime without concept, without criminal type delimited.
