A expansão das facções no Estado de Rondônia e o seu impacto na violência letal

Abstract

Violent crime, especially organized crime, is one of the main challenges for state power. Due to its inherently clandestine nature, there is limited knowledge about organized crime operations in different countries and states. In this context, the objective of the research is to understand the advance of criminal factions in the State of Rondônia and its impact on the rate of lethal violence. To achieve this objective, sources such as criminal cases, interviews and statistical data from the Public Security Yearbook and the State Secretariat for Security, Defense and Citizenship (SESDEC) will be used. These primary sources will be essential for approaching the problem. Next, the rate of violent crimes resulting in death committed by factions in our State will be investigated, in addition to the consequent reflection on policies to combat organized crime. The hypothesis of the investigation is that there has been an advance of criminal factions in the State of Rondônia, in recent years, and that this has contributed to the increase in the state rate of lethal violence. As a result of the high intimidating power of criminal organizations, investigations of intentional homicides have been more challenging, requiring modern investigation techniques, given the low effectiveness or even ineffectiveness of testimonial evidence. It is intended to test the idea that the advance of criminal factions has impacted on Jury Court judgments, in addition to the consequent reflection on policies to combat organized crime. The result of the research may help in understanding the social impacts of factions.
