Regras de engajamento em situações de distúrbios ou tensões internas : a securitização da segurança pública como uma alternativa viável para o combate à criminalidade no Brasil

Abstract

The choice of the theme is motivated by the growing need to prepare the Armed Forces to act in the fight against crime, especially due to the increase in the incidence of Law and Order Assurance Operations in the last decade. The constitutional provisions that authorize the use of the Armed Forces in internal security situations will be addressed. The concepts related to the Rules of Engagement will be explored, differentiating their application in armed conflicts and in public security operations, as well as the permissiveness or restrictiveness of the use of force. The concept of securitization will also be addressed and examples of where it has been put into practice will be cited. The main actors in the Brazilian public security system will also be analyzed and how their interactions contributed to the current crisis. Finally, a case of El Salvador will be explored as an example, analyzing the public policies to combat organized crime implemented by the current government and how the securitization of public security resulted in a significant reduction in violence in the country. In conclusion, a comparison will be made between the Brazilian situation and the Salvadoran experience, listing good practices that can be applied in Brazil and also presenting the answer to the central question
