Violência urbana, atuação e formação da Polícia Militar do Rio de Janeiro: algumas percepções

Abstract

This dissertation studies and evaluates certain aspects present in the disciplinary curricula of the Soldier Training Course ( Curso de Formação de Soldados [CFSd] ), offered by the Centro de Formação e Aperfeiçoamento de Praças 31º Vol. (CFAP) to the Praças (training soldiers) of the Military Police of the State of Rio (PMERJ) in order to analyze whether these documents can provide the necessary formation for the efficient and effective execution of both the operational work and the sociointerative activities intrinsical to the police performance, mainly to work in a Peacekeeping Police Unit, bettter known by its abreviation UPP. The main objective of this analysis is to seek possible answers to the broad and intense social debate about police violence even in communities where there are UPPs, something paradoxical because they are a state project created with the intention that deprived areas residents and State agents could cohabit togethet in a peaceful way so that they could interact, above all, to fight against organized crime and drug trafficking. In order to do this, relevant aspects are studied, such as the approach of the impact of the so-called "urban violence" in these poor areas considered, which are mainly the favelas and suburbs of the Rio de Janeiro State, considered as stigmatized territories as how they are perceived and understood by the segments of society in general that with the State and its main institutional forms represent Power.
