“…This is laid bare by the estimated 3,148 people killed by Brazilian police during the first half of 2020 (Velasco et al 2020). The judiciary and the country's state police forces epitomize major discrepancies between democratic rules and the institutional practices that disrupt them (Caldeira 2000;Ribeiro 2013). Arthur Costa (2011) argues that police in Latin America tend to have enormous discretionary power in their interaction with the population, in spite of attempts to legally limit their activities.…”

“…Although interventions such as Ronda do Bairro or police pacification units in Rio de Janeiro claim to be progressive in design, they face familiar struggles on the ground. Most importantly, local policing continues to embody corrupt and discriminatory practices, including abuse of power, stigmatization of the poor and Black people, and a resistance to accept or adopt more humanistic approaches toward security issues (Ribeiro 2013). Consequently, these initiatives remain controversial and have largely failed to reduce crime (Drugowick and Pereda 2019).…”

Governments continue to narrowly equate improved well-being with economic growth, contrary to decades of development scholarship. The capabilities approach, instead, emphasizes freedom and what individuals are able to do and to be within society. However, it underplays structural determinants of social inequities and says little about violence, a dominant problem in metropolitan areas of Latin America. Framing our analysis around capabilities and theorizing on disadvantage, we examine experiences of inequity and violence in Manaus, a metropolis in the Brazilian Amazon. We show how the threat of physical violence is highly corrosive because it underpins a cluster of disadvantage that profoundly impacts central capabilities, including emotions, bodily integrity, and affiliation. Social isolation is commonplace because interactions are perceived as risks rather than pathways to mutual recognition. Violence begets violence in low-income neighborhoods and this constrains capabilities, causes shame and indignity, and limits potential for self-realization. Policy makers should address how disadvantaged people feel about themselves, relate to others, and are able to decide how to conduct their daily lives. Keywords: poverty, symbolic violence, urban."When I arrived here, we had little money and few possessions," said Maria, referring to the neighborhood of São Jorge, Manaus, in the 1960s. "Here was considered Manaus' periphery, and it looked like people were living in small farms; there were no paved roads or electricity. Our family used to grow food in our garden. I used to swim in the Cachoeiras Igarapé [a river close to her house] and I knew most of our neighbors . . . The biggest change from those times is more robberies now. . . . This week a man was killed on my street . . . A few weeks ago, a man broke into my house. When I encountered him, I was so frightened I thought I'd have a heart attack. I couldn't move or breathe. Luckily, he left without harming me. . . . Nowadays, I'm scared of tending my garden because I feel exposed and vulnerable there, and worry about being robbed. I spend most of my time inside my house with all the doors and gates locked.M aria, like many manauaras, as people from Manaus are known, has tangible reasons to worry about her safety. She lives on Cachoeira Street, considered to be one of the most dangerous in the city, which has 1,660 violent deaths per year (Orellana et al. 2017). This equates to almost double Brazil's national homicide rate (Cerqueira et al. 2018). Manauaras are only too aware of the risks

“…Neste sentido, Holston (2013) analisa o desenvolvimento da cidadania brasileira associando-a a dois fatores: de um lado, a incorporação ao regime político formal, e, de outro, a distribuição de direitos, práticas e significados entre a população, o que ocorreu de forma completamente desigual. Ribeiro (2013) afirma que em uma democracia disjuntiva a dimensão civil dos direitos é limitada em três pontos:…”

A gestão da vida e da segurança pública no Brasil

Resumo: O presente artigo busca, a partir da análise de uma série de evidências empíricas e de dados disponíveis, construir um panorama atualizado da área e, com isso, reforçar uma narrativa acerca da atual configuração da segurança pública no país que identifica os sentidos das fortes disputas pelo significado de lei, ordem e segurança pública, bem como interpreta os rumos e as opções institucionais em torno de como o Estado tem administrado os conflitos sociais da sociedade brasileira contemporânea. Narrativa essa que, em síntese, defende que há um forte hiato entre os princípios democráticos inaugurados com a Constituição de 1988 e as práticas institucionais das polícias, dos ministérios públicos e do Judiciário, que, paradoxalmente, delegam às polícias militares a gestão da vida da população e pouco avançam na sua valorização como princípio basilar a organizar suas práticas e procedimentos.Palavras-chave: segurança pública, ordem pública, polícia militar, conflitos sociais, democracia. IntroduçãoTodos imaginam saber o significado de "segurança pública", mas, ao buscar uma definição conceitual, Arthur Trindade Maranhão Costa e Renato Sérgio de Lima relataram as dificuldades analíticas à compreensão de múltiplas dimensões e desdobramentos que decorrem dos conceitos em uso nas ciências sociais. Segundo eles, diferentes posições políticas e institucionais interagem para que segurança pública não esteja circunscrita em torno de uma única definição conceitual e esteja imersa num campo em disputas. Trata-se menos de um conceito teórico e mais de um campo empírico e organizacional que estrutura instituições e relações sociais em torno da forma como o Estado administra ordem e conflitos sociais (Costa & Lima, 2014: 482). E é em torno desse campo em disputas que o presente artigo pretende trabalhar.
