| Synopsis: |
Police and Society in Brazil fills a gap in English literature about policing in Brazil, a nation that currently ranks 6th in number of homicides. Crime is closely associated with social inequality and failure of the criminal justice system. The police are considered by most as 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. Hot-button issues are addressed alongside more basic questions about the organization, staffing and equipping of the state and federal policing agencies. This volume provides the first English language overview of research on Brazilian police. |
