Abstract:

The article aims to identify the risk perception of the police officers from the State of Rio de Janeiro based on their areas of operation: Capitol, Inner city and Baixada Fluminense, by analyzing comparative victimization. This is a transversal study that used triangulation method. The quantitative research investigated 533 police officers in the Capital, 159 in the Inner city and 222 in Baixada Fluminense, the qualitative approach included interviews with 17 police chiefs and 15 focus groups in three areas. The results indicate that risk perceptions of officers, and the strategies used to minimize them are characteristics that unite them. Despite its universal character, the risk earns differential gradients in relation to the function and the territory of operation. In the Capital they are more exposed to risk confrontation with the criminality, lower appreciation of the police by the population, but there is greater operational support the corporation in this area. Contrary to perception, the vitimization is related to the action territory: 67.8% of the Capital police, 13.7% in Inner city and 9.7% in Baixada were victimized last year. It´s expected that the analysis subsidize the management regarding the technical and health support of these officers, according to specificities of the work in various territories.
