Script error: No such module "labelled list hatnote". In Brazil, contravention is a sort of penal infraction — not only an administrative offense - which is considered to be less serious than a crime.
Since 1941, Brazilian criminal law has a dual system which separates penal infractions in two main different acts. They are the Brazilian Penal Code (Script error: No such module "Lang".), describing crimes in general, and the Penal Contraventions Act [pt], describing the contraventions.
Contraventions are punished less severely than crimes in Brazilian law. While crimes may be punished to Script error: No such module "Lang". (reclusion) or detenção (detention), the only kind of possible imprisonment for contraventions is Script error: No such module "Lang". (simple prison), which is never served under closed conditions (only open and semi-closed conditions may be applied). Fines may also be imposed due to contravention sentencing.
In Brazilian law, one who is already convicted for a crime is not considered to be recidivist when committing a contravention for the first time, and vice versa.
