A política de segurança pública de Fortaleza: um estudo sobre o Programa Municipal de Proteção Urbana (PMPU) a partir do discurso de gestores e coletivos de juventudes

Abstract

This Article aims to analyze the implementation of the Municipal Program of Urban Protection (PMPU) in the city of Fortaleza - CE, from the perception of the public managers and youth collectives, on the period of 2018-2019. To achieve this objective, it was necessary to understand the trajectory of public security policy at the national and state level and how it has been constituted at the municipal level, based on the formulation of the PMPU and finally, to present the perception of the young people about the program implementation. The methodological process used for data collection was bibliographic and documentary research, semi-structured interviews with public managers and a participant observation with youth collectives during the Seventh Protest March of Fortaleza's Outskirts. As a result of the research, it is considered that the implementation of the PMPU as the municipal public security policy, in the perspective of managers, has been and is being of paramount importance to combat the high levels of violence that plagues daily life in Fortaleza. On the other hand, reports from youth collectives express that this program is palliative, given that the main investment is for ostensible police activities, with primary and secondary preventive actions being relegated.
