Survey and analysis of the main constraints of the perception of security in Brazilian society and proposal of a performance model for PMSE

Abstract

The present work addressed the importance of considering the sense of (un) security felt by the population, as a basis for the formulation of public security policies aimed at the full exercise of citizenship. For this, we searched in the literature the main contributions of authors about the main conditions that influence the perception of safety by the individual, as well as the factors that put him at risk exposure. In the discussion about violence and criminality, several conditions were pointed as important for understanding the levels of insecurity sensation, such as: the increase of crime; the influence of the media; and attributes of the individuals themselves, such as color, gender, income, age, among other sociodemographic characteristics. The data from the National Household Sample Survey - PNAD (2009) and from the SENASP Victimization Survey, published in 2017, were used as empirical material, giving a greater focus to the Sergipe State indices, tracing a slight comparative with the national average. At the end of the study, a SWOT matrix of the Sergipe State Military Police was drawn up, from which public security policies were proposed with the objective of, through the activities of overt policing, to seek to reduce insecurity among the people of Sergipe.
