A polícia comunitária e os direitos da criança e do adolescente: atuação do comando de prevenção e apoio às comunidades do Ceará

Abstract

The present work aims to analyze the role of Community Policing as an innovative approach in defending the rights of children and adolescents, promoting the safety and protection of these vulnerable groups. Therefore, it intends to examine the implementation of community policing in the national and international context, as well as understand the relationship between the police and the community, seeking a joint effort in preventing and solving local problems. Next, it seeks to analyze the evolution and importance of Children's and Adolescents' Rights in order to understand how these rights can influence the role of community policing in engaging with society. Subsequently, the objective is to define how national legislation regulates the implementation of this policing approach and how it has been used to enforce the rights of children and adolescents established in the national legal system. Finally, as a means of illustrating all that will be discussed, an analysis of the Community Prevention and Support Command, a division of the Military Police of the State of Ceará, which has gained prominence for its operational methods, will be conducted. The methodology consists of bibliographic and documentary research, including reading books, legislation, scientific articles, master's theses, and news sources. The theoretical framework will be based on propositions developed by Brazilian criminal doctrine and current legislation in the country. Based on all the above, it is concluded that Community Policing is indeed a philosophy that will contribute to the successful enforcement of Human Rights, especially the rights of children and adolescents.
