Policiamento comunitário da PMMA: identificação e priorização de problemas locais na busca de soluções

Abstract

The present study takes into account the chaotic situation in which public security in the country is currently occurring, marked mainly by high criminal rates. In this context, the present research will discuss, at first, about the constitutional assumptions of police action and its interaction with the community and, later, it will expose, in addition to some difficulties related to public security in Brazil, the main issues regarding the community policing. The comparison of the traditional policing model with the community policing model is emphasized. The work will address the benefits of community policing, as well as their experiences at the international, national and local levels. Thus, considering that the study presents the bibliographic research procedures in a methodological way, the inductive approach method will be used. As for the approach to the problem, the research will be qualitative, where the relationship between subject and object is done directly. Without the intention of emptying the analysis of the subject on screen, it is clear that community policing, supported by popular participation as a way of preventing crime, can generate positive results for society in Maranhão
