“…Rinehart Kochel and Gau (2019), in a study of 71 high-crime areas, found that the tactics police use and how those strategies are interpreted by residents can facilitate social cohesion and informal social control; the challenge, however, is having an impact on tactics and residents' interpretations. A study by Boettke, Lemke, and Palagashvili (2016) found that these efforts have been generally ineffective and unsustainable, due largely to "the prioritization of federal over community initiatives, the militarization of domestic police, and the erosion of genuine community-police partnerships" (p. 305). In other words, very little actual community policing occurred in the large cities studied.…”

The police violence pandemic directed toward members of racialized populations in the United States, particularly but not exclusively African American men (African American women and indigenous groups face similar injustices), has produced widespread protests and some immediate changes across the United States and around the world. The extent to which the Black Lives Matter movement will be sustained as was the civil rights movement in the 1960s is not yet known, but broad participation among racial, economic, and age groups is encouraging. There are opportunities for all to participate in the movement simply as members of society; we argue here, however, that behavior scientists and practitioners have unique potential, and an ethical obligation, to contribute to achieving meaningful change while recognizing that we offer only part of what is necessary for social advancement. In 1967, Reverend Martin Luther King, Jr. (1968), gave a distinguished address to the American Psychological Association titled "The Role of the Behavioral Scientist in the Civil Rights Movement." He noted that "for social scientists, the opportunity to serve in a life-giving purpose is a humanist challenge of rare distinction. Negroes too are eager for a rendezvous with truth and discovery." He then suggested areas where help would be welcomed. The need is clearly still great, but behavior science has yet to prioritize this work. Perhaps this is the moment. The Association for Contextual Behavioral Science recently released a statement reading, in part, We, the Board of ACBS, are writing this statement to unequivocally oppose structural, cultural, and individual racism, racially motivated violence, hate speech and all forms of prejudice and oppression in evidence throughout the world. We invite our community of researchers, therapists, and helpers to look hard at the many ways in which racism manifests in the world at large. We ask that our scientific community bring to bear the significant strength of contextual behavioral science in shining a light and exploring solutions to discrimination and Behavior and Social Issues

“…Once the assumption of an omniscient and benevolent "defense brain" is rejected, the analysis of even such critical issues as military strategy are more analogous to the bargaining one finds in the swamp concerning mosquito abatement than some ideal public interest deliberation. 15 See Aligica and Boettke (2009, 7-29); Boettke, Coyne, and Leeson (2011);Boettke, Lemke and Palagashvili (2013) ; and Boettke, Lemke, and Palagashvili (2016) for a discussion of the Ostroms contribution to the municipalities debate in public administration.…”

“…Community participation is of paramount importance for the review of police action how put Boettke, Lemke and Palagashvili (2015). They highlight out that reforms in the police system must aim have to cultivate community policing, and this requires understanding of the broader institutional environment within which policing takes place.…”

The research addresses the community policing developed at the Brisa do Lago Police Base, located in the city of Arapiraca -Alagoas. Assuming that public safety is a responsibility of all (State and society), Community Policing emerges as a philosophy in which the population and the police work together to identify and seek solutions to solve community problems, with essentially preventive actions. The main objective of the study was to describe how community policing was developed by the Brisa do Lago Police Station in the period from 2012 to 2016. For this purpose, case study was adopted as a method and data was collected using an instrument for a field research which included the visits to the 3rd Military Police Battalion, to the Arapiraca City Hall and to the Brisa do Lago Set, as well as interviews with residents, police officers and community leaders who interacted directly and indirectly at the Base. As the results it was evidenced that the low effective to cover the entire area of the city of Arapiraca was determinant for the closure of the Base, as also the high turnover of police officers and the non-compliance with the guidelines established by the community policing model. Regarding community policing, it was possible to observe that its philosophy was not effectively implemented in that community, being essential a preparation of all the agents involved in this process.The community policing base was inaugurated in 2012 and was in the operation until the beginning of 2016. At first, the policing executed out by the Brisa do Lago Police Base was that of community philosophy, was geared towards more social work. Shifts were divided in four (A, B, C, D) each one compound for four officers, can reach up to five, depending on availability. The comand of the base was relative, with no definite term, being able to change with each scale of service.The police base was subordinate to the 3rd BPM and gave support police to the following neighborhoods: Olho D'água dos Cazuzinhas, Boa Vista, Cacimbas I and II. In 2015, the police Base of the set Brisa of the Lago had its area of operation expanded passing from then on give support to areas that were the responsibility of another base.The police officer interviewed informed that at the beginning a differentiated policing was developed, aimed at the social and the educative area, and that for this was utilizations communication techniques during the visits, which were made regularly to the residences. Such meetings had aimed at knowing the main needs and criticisms regarding the work of the police in the locality. At this point we can see an attempt to align the perceptions that is the key for the implantation success of the model as highlight Stein and Griffith (2015).In addition to this fact, the proposal had a more preventive than a repressive perspective. This point is in line with the principles of community policing proposed by the literatures consulted Senasp (2007), NEV / USP (2009) and Santos et. al. (2013):It was a policing until then differentiated tha...
