0177/2021 - Narrativas policiais sobre prevenção da violência e juventudes: experiências no Brasil e na Escócia Police narratives on the prevention of violence and youth: experiences in Brazil and Scotland.
Esse estudo analisa as narrativas de policiais sobre iniciativas de prevenção da violência na cidade do Rio de Janeiro, no Brasil e na cidade de Glasgow, na Escócia. Utilizou-se o referencial teórico-metodológico das ciências sociais, com os aportes da antropologia interpretativa. Os resultados apontam para a produção de intervenções cada vez mais precoces dirigidas às juventudes de periferias urbanas nos dois países. Prevalecem narrativas que reforçam ideias do ambiente familiar desestruturado, da vulnerabilidade social e do envolvimento com o crime como fatores de risco. Tais narrativas privilegiam a ótica do negativismo e da juventude como “problema social”, unificando formulações que se estruturam a partir da simbiose entre o papel de agente do estado e o ethos moral que sustenta as decisões individuais de policiais. O estudo sinaliza para a complexidade das intervenções, bem como para a disputa em torno dos modos de controle e da produção da ordem nos dois contextos analisados. Sugere-se investigar, em estudos futuros, como a racionalidade presente no campo da saúde pública vem sendo incorporada em políticas e programas de segurança pública. Ressaltam-se os riscos das narrativas que reforçam estigmas sobre os jovens pobres em iniciativas de prevenção da violência.
This study analyses the narratives of police officers about violence prevention initiatives in the city of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil and in the city of Glasgow, Scotland. To analyse the data, it was used the theoretical-methodological framework of social sciences, based on the interpretative anthropology. The results show the demand for intervention at an increasingly early stage, aiming at young peopleurban peripheral neighbourhoods. “Unstructured family environment”, “social vulnerability” and “involvement with crime” are mentioned as risk factors and reinforce narratives that favour the perspective of negativism and of youth as \"social problem\" prevail, unifying formulations that are structured by the symbiosis between the role of the state agent and the moral ethos that sustains the discretionary powers of police officers. The study signals the complexity of the interventions, and the disputes around the modes of control and the production of order in the two contexts analysed. The research suggests for future studies to investigate how the rationality present in the field of public health has been incorporated into public security policies and programs and highlights the risks of reinforcing stigmatising narratives over poor youth in violence prevention initiatives.

This study analyses the narratives of police officers about violence prevention initiatives in the city of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil and in the city of Glasgow, Scotland.
