ResumoThis article approaches the cangaço from the criminological point of view, specifically by the theory of neutralization techniques, seeking through it a perception that bears and clarifies the eternal conflict about the character and cause of this social phenomenon.For that, we opted for the analysis of the most elaborated theses on the subject.On the one hand, the theory of social banditry, by Eric Hobsbawm, which comprises the cangaço within the class conflict in pre-capitalist societies, conceiving the cangaceiro as a primitive model of revolutionary.In opposition, the studies of Frederico Pernambucano de Mello were adopted, from which the established theory of the ethical shield arises, portraying the cangaceiro without the ideological and rebellious bias seen in the previous one.Thus, while avoiding the embarrassments arising from this Manichean debate, the attempt was made to insert the cangaço and its opposing interpretations in the vast and multifaceted view of the sociological theories of criminology, thereby seeking a convergence between these two approaches, intermediated by Marxist-based theories The obvious alterations, obviously, are the socioeconomic paradigm under which radical criminology arose, that is, the "bourgeois-proletarian" capitalist dichotomy, which did not exist at the time of the cangaço -and by the theory of neutralization techniques, of Sykes and Matza.
