Casos de polícia e redes de política: uma análise das políticas de segurança pública a partir da Zona Sul do Rio de Janeiro

Abstract

The perception of urban violence growth in large cities, such as Rio de Janeiro, has reorganized public security policies at the federal, state and municipal levels. The militarization of territories and populations, deepened from the pacification model and its arrangement and control devices, can be thought as one of the stages of (re)construction of the borders and territorialities of the city, both through its police cases, and their policy networks. In this scenario, it is necessary to ask: how are the networks for the operationalization of public security policies in Rio de Janeiro disputed and composed? Based on a case in one of the neighborhoods of the South Zone, a postcard of the city, this thesis focuses on analyzing the overlaps between police cases and politicy networks, by investigating the participation and negotiation of residentes of the Copacabana neighborhood in the construction of an agenda of public security policies, in partnerships with public agencies and market sectors, and the very operationalization of these policies in new police functions, new legal provisions and new frameworks today. What is new in a post-pacification context is the improvement of surveillance, control and policing mechanisms capable of producing new sociabilities and subjectivities guided by a militiaized security logic that marks the permanent crisis of public security.
