"Tratado do processo criminal preparatorio ou d'instrucção e pronuncia" by Unknown is a legal treatise written in the mid-19th century. This work discusses the procedures surrounding the preliminary phases of criminal prosecution, focusing on public crimes and the roles of various legal authorities in initiating and conducting investigations. The book emphasizes the importance of formal procedures and documentation in the criminal justice process. The opening of the treatise introduces the concept of "participação dos delictos," which refers to the reporting of public crimes necessary to initiate legal proceedings. It outlines who may report such crimes and the process by which this should be done, including the mandatory documentation and signatures required. The text also begins to lay out subsequent chapters, addressing the procedures for establishing a "corpo de delicto" (body of evidence) and how formal charges are structured, thereby providing a detailed framework for navigating the complexities of criminal law in that era.
