The text, of high scientific level, deals with a matter that in the burrow in the daily life: the
insecurity of the public
spaces in the country. The language looks for to be accessible at the same time to the lay and the specialist in the area of the Right, military professional or
policeman. A concern exists of informing with data and graphs, statistics and outlines, but without to be excessive or to break the fluency of the text. The theme is including, it is going from the definition of social defense (seeking to solve one of the great problems of the discussion in the newspapers and in the University, that is the conceptual subject), of being speaking the same language, going by the roots of our
insecurity in the urban concentration and in the social conflituosity, discussing the Great Policial Reform and until analyzing the proposals for that area of recent governments with FHC and Lula. Lúcio Emílio do Espírito Santo and Amauri Meireles don't stop passing for controversial topics, such as the strike recent policeman (of 1997) and the paradoxical increase of the violence in Brazil with the turn of the democracy in the eighties. An example of the authors' positioning regarding a delicate subject: the almost immediate consequence of the movement of 97 was the increase of the political and social visibility of the initial levels of the military police hierarchy . Before any other task, the pacification was imposed interns, since a deep ditch had dug between officials and squares, turning the institutional life unable of being lived with normality, which contemplated negatively in the operacionality of the Corporation in the end. However, the more notable is the reform of the regulation to discipline, that it established a new ethical pact among the institution policeman, the society and the state. That process followed the democratic procedures, unlike what it had happened in previous periods, in that the regulation to discipline, lowered through ordinances, it consulted only the interests of the State. This time, the involved segments were called to manifest, the project was directed by the Executive and thoroughly discussed in mining Legislative Assembléia (MEIRELLES, Amauri and ESPÍRITO SANTO, Lúcio Emílio, 2003, p. 297). Another element to be outstanding is cosmopolitism of that text, that treats with versatility so much of the mining interior as of the project "Tolerance Zero" of the project Giuliani of his/her police boss, William Bratton. The book shows that you program repressive as the "Tolerance Zero" not they can come alone of preventive social programs, capable to reduce the shocking levels of exclusion that we have in Brazil. Regarding that work, also wrote colonel Jair José Dias, president of the Brazilian Institute of Policiology: to Win the insecurity is one of the largest challenges of the new Brazilian democracy. It is necessary to begin for the creation of a new language, new concepts, that favor the cultural changes in the police and in the justice, besides a sharpened historicity sense capable to analyze the past critically, so much to get right as for not wandering. The roots of our insecurity are in the violence. Violence of the hunger and of the poverty. Underlying violence to the common crime. These plans if interpenetram and she cannot eradicate the criminal violence without winning the violence of the social exclusion. The reformers of the system of social defense need to do the correct choice, since they have before itself the dilemmas of the centralization, of the exclusion of the municipal district, of the corporate atomism, of the system inquisitorial versus accusatory system and of the subject of the ideological militarization of the anti-infractional defense. The reader will find a modern vision of the subject of the insecurity that torments the man in his daily one here. The policiologic perspective is one more angle through which she can analyze the intervention of the police in the sociprocesses for the reduction of the insecurity.
