“…Another author commenting on insecurity connected to economic and social inequality is José Manuel Pires Leal, who said: "There is no feeling of insecurity. What inhabits individuals is a plurality of ways of expressing fears built from the intersection of variables such as the dominant type of solidarity in the community or place of residence; the residential proximity to places marked by exclusion and socio-cultural and economic asymmetries; and the experience of direct or emotionally close victimization" [14].…”

Latin America is as heterogeneous as its cities. To understand Latin American cities, it is necessary to have a clear vision of how they are organized, not only physically but according to their social, cultural, and economic contexts (which are associated). Historically, it has suffered a lot in terms of politics and the security of its cities. Insecurity reflects a structural problem; economic and social inequality are the main actors of spatial segregation, motivating violence and, consequently, the insecurity of urban space. Fortaleza is one of the largest Brazilian cities, and it is possible to fit it into this reality. Many public actions may benefit only one sector of society, showing biased investments and, again, confirming the tremendous economic and social differences in Latin American cities. In this study, questionnaires related to attendance, feelings, maintenance, and safety were made to some of Fortaleza’s residents regarding an urban park called Parque do Cocó, one of the biggest in Latin America. Due to its large area, it is located in different city neighborhoods, allowing for us to see the differences in treatments throughout its extension. This article aims to understand how the public opinions and mentality of a portion of the population are characterized concerning safety in green public spaces in the city. In addition, the insecurity of public green spaces can also be inserted into a problem of environmental injustice in the urban context. This study of Fortaleza’s Cocó Park highlights significant disparities in safety perceptions and maintenance across socioeconomic regions. Findings indicate that areas with higher human development index (HDI) scores experience better park conditions. The research underscores the necessity for comprehensive urban policies that address socioeconomic inequalities, as evidenced by the correlation between crime rates and HDI. Cocó Park emerges as a key factor in sustainable urban development, aligning with Fortaleza’s urban planning goals. The study emphasizes the critical role of urban green spaces in enhancing the quality of life and fostering social cohesion in urban landscapes. Moreover, with the data collected, it will be possible to stress further how urban adequacy relates to social situations in Latin American cities.

“…The inequality and insecurity described by Juán Ruíz [13], Jan Gehl [7], and José Manuel Pires Leal [14] also extend to public urban parks. These influences are also where we can find socio-space segregation and environmental injustice, and gentrification issues can arise.…”

“…Nevertheless, according to some authors, such as Leal (2010, p. 397), the mass media “have become a powerful vehicle for transmitting messages essential to the cohesion of individuals and the structuring of their own identity”. Thus, if the media play an informative and entertainment role, and if part of its agenda is made up of crime-related news and content, it may be relevant to understand, through qualitative methodologies, how these messages are received and interpreted and what role they will play in the fear of crime.…”

The present study, using a Portuguese sample, is aimed at understanding how the media shapes the fear of crime experiences. Concretely, we explored how individuals interpret the content transmitted by the media and how these perceptions influence the fear of crime contextually situated. It was also our aim to explore if the area of residence (rural and urban), as well as certain sociodemographic characteristics (such as gender), were important in the way meanings are attributed to the media in experiences of insecurity. In total, 20 semi-structured interviews were undertaken (n = 12 women; 13 from rural areas and 7 from urban areas). Among the relevant results found in the present study, one of the conclusions we can highlight is that it is not possible to establish a clear relationship between media consumption and insecurity feelings. Indeed, media do not totally shape the fear of crime experiences, as a panoply of meanings has emerged, which makes their influence differential. Thus, aspects such as the sensationalism, the location of the reported crime, the realism of the news and the proximity to the event are examples of factors that emerged with great relevance in this investigation. In short, this study allowed the authors to reach a depth and diversity of meanings of insecurity, through several approaches that were the basis for their understanding and confirms the relevance of studying this theme from experiences and discourses using qualitative research.

“…cria-se dessa forma o estereótipo de um inimigo da sociedade cujos atos sempre estarão associados à criminalidade e violência (arguELLo, 2005 (LEaL, 2010), o que pode estar contribuindo para o aumento dos índices reais de delitos, mas que não necessariamente corresponde à realidade da criminalidade e violência repassada pelos meios de comunicação. a quantidade de sujeitos que não se enquadra nos projetos sociais vigentes, caracteriza uma espécie de "Lixo humano" que não se mostra útil aos objetivos da organização social em vigência.…”

Espaços urbanos, segregação social e consumo simbólico: um estudo sobre a cobertura dos rolezinhos em Teresina/PI

O presente estudo propõe analisar a cobertura do site noticioso CidadeVerde.com sobre rolezinhos realizados em Teresina-PI, nos meses de março e abril de 2014. Ao todo, seis matérias foram analisadas através da técnica de análise de conteúdo categorial (BARDIN, 2011). Tendo como aporte teórico temas como representação, subjetividade, identidades, segregação e medo, fazemos uso de autores como Moscovici (2010), Arguello (2005), Foucault (2012), entre outros, para explicar como as instituições e a organização social atuam na fabricação de representações e segregação de determinados grupos, excluindo-os de espaços até mesmo simbólicos de pertencimento. Como conclusão, acreditamos que os meios de comunicação, validados por representações naturalizadas no imaginário social, fabricam e reforçam estereótipos que representam, de uma maneira generalista, o medo e a violência.
