Este trabalho teve por finalidade verificar os interesses que levaram o Drug AbuseResistance Education, um programa de prevenção ao uso de drogas criado nos Estados Unidos no início da década de 1980, a ser aplicado pela Polícia Militar do Estado de São Paulo a partir de 1993, adotando no Brasil o nome de Programa Educacional de Resistência às Drogas e à Violência, conhecido através da sigla PROERD. Para tanto, fez-se necessário estudar as políticas de prevenção ao uso de drogas adotadas pelos dois países, bem como a legislação que permitiu à polícia militar aplicar um programa de prevenção nas escolas. As relações entre Brasil e Estados Unidos a partir de 1930 também foram pesquisadas, fazendo-se um levantamento histórico desde então, até o final do regime militar e início da redemocratização do Brasil, abordando o papel desempenhado pelas forças repressivas do Estado durante este período. A criação da Polícia Militar do Estado de São Paulo no inicio da década de 1970 também foi pesquisada, assim como as mudanças sociais que ocorreram ao longo de sua existência e que passaram a exigir alterações em seu modo de agir, requerendo a adoção do policiamento comunitário. A imagem construída pela instituição policial militar, principalmente durante o regime militar, favoreceu o seu distanciamento da comunidade e a reprovação dos seus atos pelos cidadãos, que passaram a cobrar uma polícia comprometida com a defesa da vida e da integridade, sendo o PROERD e o policiamento comunitário tentativas de resgatar o relacionamento com a sociedade, construindo uma imagem mais positiva da polícia no que se refere a uma perspectiva humanista.
According to the Ministry of Justice and Public Security, Brazil is fourth in the world position in relation to the absolute size of female prison population, with 42.000 women deprived of freedom (2016), behind the United States, China and Russia. Around 50% are young (< 29 years old), 62% are black and 66% have not yet attended high school. This study aimed to characterize the profile of women incarcerated in a penitentiary in the interior of Brazil, through the survey of sociodemographic data, education, health, legal and life expectations. This is a descriptive and exploratory study conducted with 68 women (20 to 67 years old) in 2019 and 2020. Most women declared themselves black or brown (56%), incomplete elementary school (42%), have work experience (73%). Around 69% reported needing health treatment and 76% have already used psychoactive substances including alcohol, cigarettes, marijuana, cocaine or crack. The main reasons that led to the arrest were drug trafficking (54%) and theft (26%) and the majority (53%) are repeat offenders in prison system. Regarding the biggest dream of life, the main answers were related to family life (44%), having a job (26%) and access to education (20%). With these results, an extension project was proposed to offer a professional qualification in vegetable gardens, aromatic and medicinal plants for women prisoners. In addition to professional qualification, the project is dedicated to promoting debates on map of life, ethics, human relations, citizenship, gender, women's rights and health, quality of life, body and verbal expression, digital inclusion, food and nutrition security, entrepreneurship, cooperativism, solidary economy, rights and duties of the worker, aiming at better employment conditions. This research contributed to articulate actions between university and society, empower women through access to education and allowed the work team to develop competencies related to collaborative work and interdisciplinarity.
