Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Brazil, where crime is closely associated with social inequality and failure of the criminal justice system, the police are considered by most to be corrupt, inefficient, and violent, especially when occupying poor areas, and they lack the widespread legitimacy enjoyed by police forces in many nations in the northern hemisphere. This text covers hot-button issues like urban pacification squads, gangs, and drugs, as well as practical topics such as policy, dual civil and military models, and gender relations. The latest volume in the renowned Advances in Police Theory and Practice Series, Police and Society in Brazil fills a gap in English literature about policing in a nation that currently ranks sixth in number of homicides. It is a must-read for criminal justice practitioners, as well as students of international policing.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An important new ethnographic study of São Paulo’s favelas revealing the widespread use of race-based police repression in Brazil While Black Lives Matter still resonates in the United States, the movement has also become a potent rallying call worldwide, with harsh police tactics and repressive state policies often breaking racial lines. In The Anti-Black City, Jaime Amparo Alves delves into the dynamics of racial violence in Brazil, where poverty, unemployment, residential segregation, and a biased criminal justice system create urban conditions of racial precarity. The Anti-Black City provocatively offers race as a vital new lens through which to view violence and marginalization in the supposedly “raceless” São Paulo. Ironically, in a context in which racial ambiguity makes it difficult to identify who is black and who is white, racialized access to opportunities and violent police tactics establish hard racial boundaries through subjugation and death. Drawing on two years of ethnographic research in prisons and neighborhoods on the periphery of this mega-city, Alves documents the brutality of police tactics and the complexity of responses deployed by black residents, including self-help initiatives, public campaigns against police violence, ruthless gangs, and self-policing of communities. The Anti-Black City reveals the violent and racist ideologies that underlie state fantasies of order and urban peace in modern Brazil. Illustrating how “governing through death” has become the dominant means for managing and controlling ethnic populations in the neoliberal state, Alves shows that these tactics only lead to more marginalization, criminality, and violence. Ultimately, Alves’s work points to a need for a new approach to an intractable problem: how to govern populations and territories historically seen as “ungovernable.”

Book excerpt: This thesis aims to study the daily life of a military police station in a favela in Rio deJaneiro, Brazil. This station is part of the Pacifying Police Unit that was created to change the wardynamic held in the favelas in Rio de Janeiro. The traditional violent police invasions were replacedby a proximity-based policing that combined surveillance and social initiatives. The main goal of thePacifying Police was to “preserve lives” through the restoration of democratic rule and relationsbetween favela residents and the police, a relationship historically based on fear and distrust.Observations of foot and vehicle patrols were made for more than a year (2014-2015), as well asobservations of initiatives organized by the station and puntual observations of a civil police stationand parlamentary discussion. A historical search of newspapers also complemented the analysis.Through this ethnographic approach it becomes possible to understand how soldiers act in the faceof operational, political, historic and institutional transformations. The relationship between thepolice and the community is based on a double enterprise of repression (through the continuity of thewar on drugs, territorial management, and fight against armed trafficking) and social, humanitarianactions (parties, seminars, marriages, donations, and other services). Local circumstances revealtensions, contradictions and ambivalences, namely between universalistic notions such as humanrights and local logics (naturalizations and culturalist explanations of favela residents and crime).The pacification police struggle to fight the armed drug trafficking that still prevails, establishterritorial control over pacified territories and maintain social legitimacy. Indeed, police control isbased on discrimination practices that serve to protect some and repress others. Thus, theparadoxical effect of the pacification police: while it seeks legitimization through the familiarity ofpatrols and social initiatives, it is delegitimized when soldiers reproduce discriminatory, stereotypingand violent interactions with residents of favelas. Ultimately, the pacification police reinforced thesociogeographic borders it aimed to erase. The context of pacification in Rio de Janeiro places thepolice as a privilege institution to study the dominations of race and class that prevail in Brazil,through discourses and logics that carry postcolonial and postdictarorial heritages. In a broadersense, an ethnography of the military police in Brazil reveals the ways of governing the urban poorpopulations in Latin America.

Download or read book Policing Rio de Janeiro written by and published by Stanford University Press. This book was released on 1993-09 with total page 390 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When in 1808 members of the Portuguese royal entourage arrived in Rio de Janeiro, the capital of a colony most had previously known only through administrative reports and balance sheets, they encountered a hostile and dangerous population that included a large number of African slaves. One of the institutions they brought from Lisbon was the General Intendancy of Police, which was the foundation on which the city's police institutions were built. The government met the challenge of bringing the inhabitants of Rio de Janeiro under control with a repressive apparatus that grew along with the problem it was created to solve. Policing Rio de Janeiro is a history of one of the fundamental institutions of the modern world through which the power of the state intrudes on public space to control and direct behavior. It is also a study of the way people resisted the repressive arm of the state, including heretofore unreported cases of slave rebellion as well as forms of everyday resistance. The author shows how the historical development of the police of Rio de Janeiro, through a dialectic of repression and resistance, was part of a more general transition from the traditional application of control through private hierarchies to the modern exercise of power through public institutions. Using the rich records - which include internal correspondence and official reports - of the police system and its civilian counterparts the judicial and jail systems, the author explores the point at which repression and resistance collided, on the squares, streets, and back alleys of Brazil's capital city. The resulting disturbances served as a catalyst for the formation of institutions and procedures that provided a veneer of modernity over traditional attitudes and relationships, protecting and strengthening them. In a conceptual context that includes the ideas of Foucault, Weber, and Gramsci, the author goes beyond institutional history to examine the changing social conditions of Rio de Janeiro and the exercise of power by its elites.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The book offers an interdisciplinary qualitative study of the history of policing in Brazil and its colonial underpinnings, providing theoretical accounts of the relationship between biopolitics, space, and race, and post-colonial/decolonial work on the state, violence, and the production of disposable political subjects. Focused empirically on contemporary (1985-2015) police killings and disappearances in favelas, particularly in Rio de Janeiro, the books argues that the invisibility of this phenomenon is the product of a colonial mindset - one that has persisted throughout Brazil's experience of both dictatorship and re-democratisation and is traceable to the legacies of the Portuguese empire and the plantation system implemented. Analysing the development of the police as a colonial mechanism of social control, Villenave shows how the "war on drugs" reproduces this same colonial logic and renders some, overwhelmingly black, lives disposable and thus vulnerable to unchecked police brutality and death. It will be of interest to students and scholars of international politics and also contributes to critical security studies, postcolonial and de-colonial thought, global politics, the politics of Latin America and political geography"--

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This book examines the political economy of violence in the Rio de Janeiro favela of Rocinha. Based on over two years of research and residence in the community, it offers an ethnographic account of how entangled forms of violence become essential forces shaping everyday social relations in the favela. The first part of the book shows how armed actors--drug traffickers and police--use spectacle to perform power. Yet despite the prevalence of physical violence, the favela has itself become a valuable global brand, consumed in disembodied fashion through media and in embodied fashion through tourism. Exploring media and favela tourism, the second part of the book demonstrates how the social relationships that arise from ongoing favela violence have a direct relationship to the market economy"--Provided by publisher.

This book was released on 2007 with total page 340 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book concerns itself with the implementation of human rights strategies within the state police forces of Rio de Janeiro as an attempt to improve policing and enhance police compliance with human rights standards. For the sake of this research, police human rights strategies have been defined as those laws, policies, projects, or programs that implicitly or explicitly aim to improve police compliance with human rights values, standards, and norms. The understanding that as state agents the police are supposed to uphold the law, which includes human rights, yet they are often involved in human rights violations has led to a realization of the importance of implementing human rights within the police and increasing police compliance with human rights standards. It is not enough to document human rights violations committed by the police and to demand that these officers be held accountable, there has to be an attempt to get police officers to understand human rights and to respect people's human rights while performing their duties so that human rights violations at the hands of the police occur less frequently. What strategies have been created to improve the police and increase police compliance with human rights standards? How have these strategies been implemented? How do they influence the reality of policing? What are the societal and institutional factors that facilitate or impede the implementation of these strategies? It is these questions and the lack of answers available thereto that inspired this research.

This book was released on 2014-09-01 with total page 202 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The residents of Caxambu, a squatter neighborhood in Rio de Janeiro, live in a state of insecurity as they face urban violence. Living with Insecurity in a Brazilian Favela examines how inequality, racism, drug trafficking, police brutality, and gang activities affect the daily lives of the people of Caxambu. Some Brazilians see these communities, known as favelas, as centers of drug trafficking that exist beyond the control of the state and threaten the rest of the city. For other Brazilians, favelas are symbols of economic inequality and racial exclusion. Ben Penglase’s ethnography goes beyond these perspectives to look at how the people of Caxambu themselves experience violence. Although the favela is often seen as a war zone, the residents are linked to each other through bonds of kinship and friendship. In addition, residents often take pride in homes and public spaces that they have built and used over generations. Penglase notes that despite poverty, their lives are not completely defined by illegal violence or deprivation. He argues that urban violence and a larger context of inequality create a social world that is deeply contradictory and ambivalent. The unpredictability and instability of daily experiences result in disagreements and tensions, but the residents also experience their neighborhood as a place of social intimacy. As a result, the social world of the neighborhood is both a place of danger and safety.

Book excerpt: Janice Perlman wrote the first in-depth account of life in the favelas, a book hailed as one of the most important works in global urban studies in the last 30 years. Now, in Favela, Perlman carries that story forward to the present. Re-interviewing many longtime favela residents whom she had first met in 1969--as well as their children and grandchildren--Perlman offers the only long-term perspective available on the favelados as they struggle for a better life. Perlman discovers that while educational levels have risen, democracy has replaced dictatorship, and material conditions have improved, many residents feel more marginalized than ever. The greatest change is the explosion of drug and arms trade and the high incidence of fatal violence that has resulted. Yet the greatest challenge of all is job creation--decent work for decent pay. If unemployment and under-paid employment are not addressed, she argues, all other efforts will fail to resolve the fundamental issues. Foreign Affairs praises Perlman for writing "with compassion, artistry, and intelligence, using stirring personal stories to illustrate larger points substantiated with statistical analysis."

Book excerpt: This study focuses on the creation of the Pacifying Police Units in Rio de Janeiro and the close connection between public and private interests in this program. This research explores the benefits and the trade-offs of private sponsorship in light of the UPP program. The UPP was developed to promote an alternative way to deal with drug trafficking in the favelas. Amongst the UPP's innovations are the community-oriented approaches for policing the communities, the permanent occupation of locations undermined by drug trafficking, and the combination of law enforcement with social policies that intended to reduce the gap between wealthy districts and the favelas, seeking the integration of the "divided-city". One of the most remarkable innovations in this project was its proactive action to attract private sponsorship. This enables the UPPs to absorb some market features, such as the massive publicity; as well as to address some potential market interests in the city. For instance, the geography of the UPPs prioritized favelas close to affluent zones and tourist spots in the city. The selection of Brazil to host the 2014 World Cup and 2016 Olympic Games also helps to explain why and how public and private organizations were put together through the UPP project. Between 2008 and 2012, the Pacifying Police Units contributed to the reduction of violence in Rio, improving the level of police legitimacy in the city. After 2016, crime rates in the city returned to previous levels, before the UPPs. This has led many to believe that the project failed in promoting long-term security in Rio, and that the project should be discontinued.
