Abstract:

Over the past 30 years, Brazil has experienced an exponential increase of its homicide rates, problem driven by the slaughter of young male, nonwhite, poor, living in slums. Given the complexity and the resurgence of the homicide phenomenon in Brazil, the article aims to discuss some of the main effects of this problem over the investigative police work. For this purpose, it was held, between the years 2009 and 2010, a long process of ethnographic research in six Homicide Police Units of Belo Horizonte. During this period, researchers experienced the daily routine of these units and conducted several in-depth interviews with police agents. Among the results we can highlight the gap between the increasing complexity of the homicide phenomenon and the legal procedures established for investigating the problem in BH.
