BACKGROUND: The present study starts from the algorithms’ thematic and media criminology, emphasizing a bio-political perspective of technological analysis focused on control in Brazil. Having as a central research problem, the current developments of the control strategies, in technological terms, that can be seen in Brazil.
OBJETIVE: The main objective of the work, therefore, lies in determining the bio-political modifications of the insertion of new technological, media and economic devices in criminological terms.
MATERIAL AND METHODS: The methodology applied comprises a phenomenological-hermeneutic approach, with a method of monographic procedure and technique of searching for indirect documentation, highlighting bibliographic sources and news about the selected theme.
RESULTS: Therefore, it is concluded that the media criminology in practice in Brazil maintains the invisibility of massive social damage, managing information and data in a differential way, while adapting to digital media stimulates the consumption of violence related to crime, ignoring the profound problems that affect the Brazilian reality.
CONCLUSIONS: Thus, the attention to algorithms as a fundamental part of the media definition helps to understand how the population's direction is moved away from complex issues, unprecedented, leveraged by strategies that prompt immediate reactions towards the profitability of the current model of crime consumption.
