The method used was a bibliographic review and was based on a research process based on Brazilian legislation, articles and works of contemporary doctrine that deal with the subject. Through the research, it was possible to observe significant changes in the judicial system with the role of the Public Prosecutor's Office in proposing the NPPA.
