Conflicts between police officers and justice workers are recurrent in studies on the Brazilian criminal justice system. On the other hand, studies that point out that one institution tends to ratify the work of another are also not rare. In Conflicts and Confluences between the Police and the Judiciary in Studies Published between 2011 and 2021 we carried out a literature review of the papers published in Brazil in the last ten years (2011-2021) which address the relationships between these two actors. In this text, we seek to comprehend: 1) how this relationship has been explored; 2) the basis of these conflicts and how they take place in the system and in the daily practices of these organizations; and 3) whether innovations implemented during this period have affected this relationship.

Assuming that police officers play a key role in cases of sexual violence against women, this study aimed to explore the existence of standardized, evidence-based, practical guidelines and techniques for interviewing and helping victims of sexual violence, as well as its effectiveness. Using a Systematic Review of Literature, papers published between 2009 e 2019 were searched in four different databases: PubMed, Scientific Electronic Library Online (Scielo), Periódicos Eletrônicos de Psicologia (PePSIC) and CAPES Databank. The employed descriptors were: "police training" AND (rape OR "sexual violence"). Out of 1.566 studies, only four met the inclusion and exclusion criteria. The results show a lack of materials produced on the subject, especially in Brazil, and alert to need for a dialogue between academics and practitioners. Limitations and future directions are presented and discussed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Military police activity (PM) is characterized by strong contact with adverse situations, making the professional very sensitive to psychological damages. The present study aimed to carry out the preliminary identification of Burnout Syndrome in military police officers who are busy in the 2nd BPCOM, in the city of Maracanaú-Ceará, and its relationship with physical exercise practice. Eighty individuals of both sexes were evaluated for active service in the corporation, aged between 21 and 46 years and with more than one year of relationship with the company. For the data collection, the preliminary Burnout questionnaire proposed by Chafic Jbeili was used, which consists of 20 questions with psychophysical characteristics in relation to the work. When evaluating the regular practice of physical exercise, it was observed that 20 (100%) women and 50 (83.3%) men practiced exercise at least twice a week. 70 (87.5%) were at least in the initial phase of Burnout. Among men, p = 0.023 was significant for those who had children. It can be concluded that although the practice of exercise was not significant to avoid Burnout Syndrome, it may serve as an element to prevent its progression. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The health of the Military Police (SMP) is influenced by factors such as diet, physical and mental health, environmental and genetic factors. To evaluate the anthropometric profile and food behavior of the military police of the 9 th Company of the 1st Battalion of the Community Police Fortaleza. The study was conducted with 94 police officers of both genders. The police answered a Nutritional Assessment Questionnaire consists of data such as age, sex, marital status, hours of rest available and physical activity, anthropometric data were measured and then answered the Food Frequency Questionnaire (FFQ). It was identified that 17% (16) presented normal weight and 83% (78) presented overweight; 44.7% (42) had no cardiovascular risk, 36.2% (34) have cardiovascular risk, and 19.1% (18) with increased cardiovascular risk. It was observed that 73.4% (69) only consume fruit once or twice a day and 59.6% (56) consumes only one to two tablespoons of vegetables or vegetables per day. Only 6.5% (6) perform more than five meals a day and 80.4% (74) reported eating refrigerant. Thus, it is necessary a change in the lifestyle of these police officers, with a focus on prevention of cardiovascular disease, try a higher investment in working nutritional education.

Homicide statistics are a widely accepted metric of security and democracy. This article argues for a focus on how bodies come or do not come to be counted – of what happens before states enumerate. The experience of São Paulo relates that how many people die and how many do not is connected to the governance of an organised crime group known as the PCC. The punishment practices of the PCC and groups like it throughout Latin America reshape the lived paradigm of governance over life and death, albeit in concealed ways. Statistics are produced by and are productive of a de jure state, different from the state de facto. The acceptance of state-made homicide figures, whether for analysis, visualisation or political claims, is consequential for the future of lived security and social science knowledge production.

This article examines black criminal agency in the context of drug trafficking and territorial control by the Primeiro Comando da Capital (First Capital Command, PCC), a self-identified criminal organisation in São Paulo's favelas. It argues that black youth's racialised encounters with the police shape their political praxis in the city. Since in the racial imaginary, they are constantly linked to crime and violence, and since their criminalised status justifies mass incarceration and death by the police, criminality appears as a valid category to better understand not only their fate but also their agency. Ethnographic fieldwork carried out in 2009 and 2010 in a hyper-impoverished, predominately black slum community, along with weekly visits to a local detention centre in São Paulo, informs the author's analysis of the PCC's controversial languages of resistance and the gendered and racialised outcomes that emerge from their attempts to fend off the state in such topographies of domination.

The objective of the study was to systematize the knowledge produced about the relationship stress and police in Brazil between the years 2009 to 2013. It is an integrative literature review conducted in Medline and Lilacs from May 2014. Results indicate situations socially challenging the cops are exposed. As repressive crime agent lives daily with violence, is exposed to occupational hazards, which causes stress and other health problems. The physical and psychological suffering was identified in 87.5% of the analyzed manuscripts, especially irritability, fatigue and physical stress, muscle tension, problems with memory / insomnia, musculoskeletal pain, gastritis, trouble concentrating, impatience, bad mood, depression, fatigue and others. Studies indicate the consequences of stress in the police force and instigate the search for coping strategies to minimize suffering considering the importance of potential targets for the maintenance of public security.

Anchored in the concepts of "political and police" of philosopher Jacques Rancière, we aimed to analyze, discuss and propose some theoretical reflections about the demonstrations that occurred in June 2013 in Brazil. In this work, we bring some scenes extracted from the multiplicity of events that reflect the June protests in our country, to tension the relationship between the demonstrations and the mass media, reflect on the production of dissensus and processes of individualization, and think about the possibilities of reconfiguration of sensible and the experience of politics in contemporaneity.

We make a socio-historic examination of the community police efforts undertaken by the Polícia Militar do Rio de Janeiro (PMERJ) from 1983 to 2012, and emphasize the differences between the distinction of "community" and the actual practices employed, which in no way reflect the underlying terminology or nature. Despite the mismatch of jargon to reality, the actions have been beneficial insofar as they have made it possible to institutionalize traditional police measures in the favelas of Rio de Janeiro, and lay the foundations for the emergence of a modern police force.

This article contributes to recent analyses of gendered violence in Latin America by highlighting the relative neglect of women's experiences of violence in the discussion of ‘new violence’. In Latin America, women are consistently missing from mainstream debates about violence, which concentrate on urban crime, youth gangs and the police. With a focus on urban Brazil, this article argues for a gendered approach to the range of different forms of violence in order to render visible the variety of roles that women play in the context and in specific incidents of urban violence. It also explores the gendered impacts of various forms of violence and the gendered socialisation of violence. The article challenges the un-gendered concept of new violence, questioning its ability to capture the full gamut of violences that men and women experience, and the connections between these various forms. By adjusting the parameters of the debate, this article highlights the complexity of the gendered social relations and processes that reproduce violence, and adds a further dimension to the discussion of violence and security.

As a result of the so called New Law of Drugs (Law 11.343/06) – that abolished the confinement as a punishment for drug users caught in the act – the public opinion, at least in the first moment, adopted the idea that the Brazilian legal-criminal order would be heading towards less conservative forms of dealing with this complex question. However, what researchers dedicated to the subject have had the chance to notice is that this provoked an endorsement claiming for such issues to be decided, as usual, on the streets, if one may use the expression. And in this particular case, depending on the social origin (let us say so) of those caught using drugs (and not the Law), the treatment given by the policemen could vary from extortion (in the case of middle-class users) to the application of physical and moral punishments (when dealing with poor people or those living in favelas).

The study is a part of a wider survey on the process of training public security officers in the State of the Rio of January, from the perspective of the military police officer. It is a predominantly qualitative study involving twenty-four semi-structured interviews with military police officers. The interviews were then subjected to content analysis, grouping the results in five categories. As result, the study indicates that military police offers in the State of Rio of Janeiro receive inadequate preparation in terms of the cognitive construction necessary for public security professionals who are called upon to deal with complex situations in their day-to- day activities.

In this paper I will bring out the discourse and representations made by youths about the phenomenon of violence, as well as the existing relation betwenn them and the police, within the control mechanisms of police practice. This paper is based on two researches: a specific one about youth, violence and citizenship and another about public security in the city of Fortaleza in Brazil. Our interests are centered on the phenomenon of violence as a subject that defies actual times and its main meanings and representations. One could say that our preoccupation is the understanding of today's youth as victim or aggressor, In most of the cases the preferred victims of violence are the youths of the lower classes, in which there is a social production of a sensation of fear, which is becoming progressively generalized and penetrating into the social network. The relations between youths and police/ institutions are being marked by mutual distrust and physical violence practices. Some sectors of the police think of society and carry out their surveillance activities following the logic of the territorial domination by the State. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The article discusses the union rights of police in Brazil. It explains that Brazilian civil police enjoy the right to organize and strike granted by domestic and international law, but that military police do not, noting that Convention 87 of the International Labor Organization allows national governments to establish the union rights of police and military personnel. The article further notes that the Universal Declaration of Human Rights guarantees the right of all individuals to organize and join unions.
