Atuação da PMMA na prevenção e enfrentamento à violência escolar: uma análise na Escola U. I. Dr. Clarindo Santiago

Abstract

Currently Brazilian society is experiencing various social problems, as one of the most serious is the phenomenon of violence. This, in turn, remained and strengthened, becoming this rooted in Brazilian society over time. Brazilian citizens live together with this phenomenon, which has reached even educational institutions, being termed "school violence". In this way, the Military Police, in several Brazilian states, needed to reinvent itself, adopting a position closer to society, and found in school a possibility to initiate a type of policing aimed at the school community, not being different in the state of Maranhão. In this context, the U. I. Dr. Clarindo Santiago school, located in the municipality of São Luís-MA, is sensitive to these diverse forms of manifestation of this phenomenon. This work has the objective of analyzing the impact of PMMA's actions through the actions of prevention and coping against violence in the school environment, based on the students' perception. The focus is based on conceptualizing and identifying, as well as pointing out the manifestations of violence, as well as the violence that affects the school environment; present the community policing carried out by the PMMA and demonstrate how it has evolved over time; understand the social, structural and organizational context of the U. I. Dr. Clarindo Santiago School. The research was applied to the students of the school, constituting as descriptive and exploratory, quantitative approach and inductive method. We used bibliographic and documentary procedures, besides the application of questionnaires. Research shows the importance of building a new way of interacting with society to prevent and combat a current, complex and growing problem. From this, it was found that it is possible to have a law enforcement and law enforcement force that is increasingly approaching the community, with a palpable chance of obtaining the respect and confidence of the young, but this modality of policing has not yet been sufficiently explored.
