HOMICÍDIO
type: item
description: A presente resenha analisa criticamente a obra Homicide (2019), de Wayne e Natasha Petherick, contextualizando a sua relevância a partir dos elevados índices de homicídios no cenário global e, em especial, no Brasil. O livro propõe uma abordagem multifatorial do fenômeno, explorando desde as influências sociológicas, biológicas e psicológicas do comportamento agressivo até a análise de tipologias específicas. Entre os tipos abordados estão os homicídios perpetrados por jovens, assassinos em série e em massa, violência doméstica, crimes de natureza sexual e aqueles com motivação ideológica. A análise aponta a ressalva de que a perspectiva dos autores, por serem australianos, pode estar adstrita aos chamados estudos WEIRD (ocidentais, com educação superior, industrializados, ricos e democráticos), o que demanda cautela na generalização de seus achados para contextos culturais distintos. A obra também se dedica a aspectos práticos como a investigação e as estratégias de prevenção em diferentes níveis. Conclui-se que o livro é uma referência de grande utilidade para estudantes e pesquisadores das áreas da Psicologia, Criminologia e Ciências Forenses interessados nas causas e dinâmicas da agressão letal.

PATAMO FROM THE PERSPECTIVE OF ROUTINE ACTIVITY THEORY AND THE PREVENTION OF VIOLENT CRIMES
type: item
description: The study aims to analyze, in the light of the Theory of Routine Activity proposed by Cohen and Felson (1979), how the employment of the PATAMO troop of the Shock Policing Battalion of the Military Police of the Federal District can contribute to the prevention of crimes of greater social relevance, the so-called Intentional Lethal Violent Crimes (CVLI). Therefore, the work was conducted in a quantitative perspective. 807 Service Orders from the PMDF's Genesis System were analyzed in order to verify which was the area and hours of employment of PATAMO. Concomitantly, it was evaluated, through the Integrated Geostatistics System (SIGEO) of the Secretariat of Public Security of the Federal District, which were the places and times of occurrence of the 133 CVLI that occurred in the same period. Subsequently, an overlap was made between the PATAMO employment area and the CVLI occurrence area. Results showed that in 98.5% of the times when PATAMO was used, no type of CVLI occurred. With the available data, it was possible to perform a Spearman correlation analysis between the use of PATAMO and the occurrence of CVLI. The strategy for using and operating PATAMO as a specialized troop dedicated to crimes of greater violence demonstrates compliance with internal regulations. The index found was 0.87. Thus, as the CVLI vary positively in a city, PATAMO is used. The study indicates that, from the perspective of the Theory of Routine Activity, the use of PATAMO contributes to criminal prevention, particularly to prevent crimes of intentional homicide, which include feminicide, bodily injury followed by death and robbery, while it generates modification in the probabilities of interaction in space-time between the elements of the crime: motivated individual, suitable target and absence of a guardian.

CRIME PREVENTION THROUGH ENVIRONMENTAL DESIGN (CPTED) AND FEAR OF CRIME AROUND A HOMELESS SERVICE CENTER
type: item
description: This article aimed to assess the fear of crime in an area of the Federal District that has consistently demanded the attention of public authorities, particularly regarding social assistance and public security. The study focused on the area where the Brasília POP Center is located — a Specialized Reference Center for the Homeless Population, linked to the Secretariat of Social Development of the Federal District (SEDES-DF), dedicated to providing specialized services to people experiencing homelessness. Its main function is to offer social assistance support, promoting dignity, citizenship, and the social reintegration of this population. In this context, the present study aimed to analyze the basic principles of CPTED and their relationship with the fear of crime, using the area surrounding the Brasília POP Center as its field of research. To this end, a survey was conducted with 214 respondents, including residents, users of the POP Center, students, passersby, and workers. The results revealed a strong correlation between physical and social disorder, criminal activity, and fear of crime. According to respondents, the lack of care in the region contributes to high levels of insecurity.

THE MENTAL HEALTH OF AIR TRAFFIC CONTROLLERS IN BRAZIL
type: item
description: This study addressed the working conditions of Air Traffic Controllers in Brazil, as well as how the activities developed by these professionals can increase or aggravate their stress. Possible symptoms that may arise in the relationship between the subject, work and mental health were analyzed and identified, including signs of stress and characteristics of Burnout Syndrome in Air Traffic Controllers in Brazil. This cross-sectional, descriptive study, with a quantitative and qualitative approach, was conducted with 81 professionals from several states of Brazil. The instruments used were a semi-structured questionnaire and the Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI) Scale, created and adapted for the Portuguese by Chafic Jbeili (2018). The survey revealed that the majority (51%) of the professionals surveyed presented the possibility of developing Burnout Syndrome. The others (38%) are already in the initial phase of the syndrome. The sample indicated that the professional who performs the function of Air Traffic Controller may feel overwhelmed by the need to make quick decisions that ensure lives. The study highlights the vulnerability to which these professionals are subject in their work environments, ignoring how much the lack of sleep, leisure and health care can affect the performance, interpersonal relationships and quality of life of the individual, their family and social life.

O CONTROLE DA CRIMINALIDADE NO BRASIL E A IMPOSSÍVEL “TAREFA” DE SÍSIFO: DISCURSOS, MÍDIA E ADOECIMENTOS
type: item
description: O presente artigo problematiza as imensas cobranças que repousam em torno das polícias militares, em maior medida, e, para os demais órgãos de segurança pública, enquanto Instituições de que muito são esperadas as "erradicações" ou o “controle” da criminalidade. A hercúlea missão é associada a uma metáfora da mitologia grega que retrata a história de Sísifo, na qual expõe a eterna repetitividade de uma tarefa enfadonha e a impossibilidade de sua conclusão. Pesquisa do Instituto “Sou da Paz”, publicada em dezembro de 2023, apontou que apenas 35% dos homicídios no Brasil foram solucionados. O dado geralmente é explorado sob um olhar unidimensional, de baixa efetividade das polícias, mas imensos e complexos aspectos são ignorados, omitidos e simplificados em meio às necessárias análises desses escombros. A hercúlea e isolada tarefa de erradicar a criminalidade e, em especial, os homicídios, associada ao atual fragmentado sistema de justiça criminal, delineiam um cenário caótico maximizado pela mídia que acentua a visão da sociedade na busca por "salvadores da pátria". Os efeitos deletérios desse embate recaem nos próprios profissionais de segurança pública, remando uma frágil e solitária embarcação numa tempestade permanente e instável. Por fim, apresentar-se-á uma reflexão sugestiva em longo prazo, enquanto medida necessária, relacionando quatro grandes eixos: (i) as causas subjacentes da criminalidade que abordam perspectivas não policiais; (ii) a necessidade de alterações no ciclo de justiça criminal brasileiro; (iii) as mudanças de culturas das Instituições de Segurança Pública; e (iv) práticas reflexivas midiáticas e internalização de mudanças comportamentais agregadoras. O método utilizado para a pesquisa foi o hipotético-dedutivo, e quanto aos fins foi empregada a forma explicativa, lastreando buscas bibliográficas e documentais quanto aos meios, aproveitando-se doutrinas na área da segurança pública, documentos e noticiários eletrônicos e outros materiais relev…

THE APPROXIMATION OF THE POLICE TO SOCIETY THROUGH RELIGIOUS CIVIL SOCIETY ORGANIZATIONS
type: item
description: The social acceptability of the police depends on the reliability that the institutions have in a given community scenario, sometimes requiring an external impulse to open and (r)establish bonds of trust. To this end, religious civil society organizations (RCSO) have shown themselves to be important supporters of building links between police officers and the community where they work. Based on bibliographical reviews and the analysis of three events of an RCSO focused on the security segment, in two Brazilian neighborhoods with prominent violence, observed through testimonies from military police officers and volunteers, it was found that public security takes advantage of the multidimensionality of community police to achieve social rapprochement, focusing on solving local problems, finding favorable spaces for action and remodeling of identities and institutional image in philanthropic actions.

POLICE SCIENCE AND FEYERABEND’S PERSPECTIVE ON SCIENTIFIC KNOWLEDGE
type: item
description: There are ongoing discussions on the definition of Police Science (or Police Sciences, in Brazil). Despite that, its object seem well delimited: the whole policing activity and everything that may impact policing or public order. This extremely wide scope entails adopting multiple methodologies – “borrowed” from other disciplines, due to the lack of a methodology of its own. Notwithstanding the methodological variety, knowledge produced by Police Science must take into account traditional knowledge, produced by the experiences of police institutions and their members, as well as ethical and legal aspects. That suggests that the adoption of a broader epistemology, such as Paul Feyerabend’s propositions, may have a large contribution to the production of knowledge in Police Science. Throughout this study, many aspects of Feyerabend’s epistemology were discussed and applied to Police Science studies. Four central ideas of his work were highlighted: epistemological anarchism, incommensurability, counterinduction and interactionism. Feyerabend’s points were contrasted to philosophical discussions on Police Science and some points of recent discussions on evidence-based policing. The conclusion was that the interaction between scientific knowledge and traditional police knowledge is indispensable for a scientific production of higher quality and applicability. This interaction may occur either through the immersion of academics in police departments, or law enforcement officers on academia. However, irrespective of the way interaction may happen, intellectual development of the police officers is necessary so that rapprochement is possible and fruitful.

en KICK FORCE ASSESSMENT OF DETAINEES INSIDE A POLICE PATROL VEHICLE RESTRAINT A POLICE PATROL VEHICLE RESTRAINT CAGE
type: item
description: Background: Detainees under the influence of drugs or psychotic episodes are likely to kick inside a restraint cage of a police patrol vehicle, causing damage. These vehicles, however, are essential to public safety and must be kept operable. Consequently, the components of the prisoner transport compartments need to be suitable for the impacts to which they may be subjected. The aim of this study was to compare the peak force of double leg kicks (bipedal kicks), single leg-kick (unipedal kicks) and isometric compression of double leg (isometric kick) of people locked inside a vehicle restraint cage. Methods: A total of 15 male Military Self Defense specialists were confined inside the vehicle and performed (dynamics) bipedal and unipedal kicks and isometric kicks on a force platform attached to the rail of a restraint cage. Results: A one-way ANOVA revealed that the peak isometric and dynamic bipedal kicks in the restraint cage were similar and greater than the peak of unipedal kicks (2324 ± 438 N vs 2149 ± 345 N vs 1638 ± 219 N, respectively). To prevent deformation or rupture of the restraint cabin, this study suggests materials and components with a resistance of 3614 N (average + 3 deviations from our sample). This would contribute to having fewer vehicles out of service for maintenance.

Mental State Assessment: Comparison between groups of military police officers from the Federal District with and without clinical indicators
type: item
description: The present study aims to identify mental state disturbances associated with clinical indicators of mental health problems in a sample of military police officers from the Federal District. 263 police officers participated in this cross-sectional descriptive convenience sampling research. Participants responded to the Mental State Assessment Battery (BAEM), which assesses 11 dimensions of mental functioning. Data were obtained online and analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics. The sample was categorized into two groups: with and without clinical indicators of mental health problems. The mean BAEM scores of these two groups were compared using the Welch’s t-test. The effect size was examined using the Hedge’s g method. The results indicated that police officers with clinical indicators tended to present higher BAEM scores than those without these indicators. The most altered psychological domains were attention, memory, executive functions, depressive and anxious thoughts, impulsive and restless behaviors, negative affects, emotional instability and intensity, and sexual, somatic and autonomy problems. Mapping these disturbances serves to build indicators of clinical mental health care for military police officers in the Federal District.

The crime of marijuana cultivation and trafficking in the city of Barcelona: Offender profile
type: item
description: In view of the worldwide rising trend of marijuana cultivation and trafficking, which plays a prominent role in Spanish regions such as Catalonia, the present research aims to analyse the profile of the offender who commits marijuana cultivation and trafficking offences in Barcelona, in terms of sociodemographic and criminal characteristics. Also, aims to compare this profile whether it is related to small-scale or large-scale trade. It is a quantitative, non-experimental, cross-sectional, and exploratory-descriptive study. The sample was taken from police proceedings of the Barcelona Urban Guard, related to marijuana plantations seized in 2021 and 2022. 53 marijuana plantations have been studied obtaining a total of 104 offenders. The results reveal that plantations are mostly indoor, with a capacity of more than 100 plants, located mostly in dwellings. The offenders are commonly man, young and middle-aged adults, both national and international. They usually live in Barcelona, act in criminal groups and may have a police record. Finally, the present research allows us to know the profile of the criminal arrested for crimes of marijuana cultivation and trafficking, considering their criminal scene, modus operandi, and sociodemographic and criminal characteristics. This information contributes, in some way, to the decision-making in police work in the prevention of crime.

Oldenburg Burnout Inventory with Military Police from UPPs in Rio de Janeiro: Psychometric Properties
type: item
description: Burnout is a relatively common phenomenon in the work context. It is a work syndrome characterized by emotional exhaustion, disengagement from work and reduced professional effectiveness. Occupational stress is a significant concern among military police officers, with high rates of physical and psychological symptoms and burnout syndrome. The current study examined the psychometric properties of the Oldenburg Burnout Inventory. 224 military police officers of both sexes, assigned to the Pacification Police Units in the State of Rio de Janeiro, participated in this research. The results of the Confirmatory Factor Analysis revealed a very good fit of the hierarchical models, one second-order factor and two first-order factors, and the oblique model, two correlated factors, to the empirical data. The Exhaustion and Disengagement from Work factors showed strong levels of internal consistency. Therefore, evidence of validity and reliability was obtained for the measure. It is expected that the instrument can be useful in evaluating and supporting interventions to reduce suffering and promote the mental health of these public security workers.

THE IMPORTANCE OF RESEARCH IN POLICE WELL-BEING: BIBLIOGRAPHIC REVIEW AND MODEL PROPOSITURE
type: item
description: The present manuscript aimed to demonstrate the relevance of measuring the well-being phenomenon of police officers, especially the military, with a focus on the PMDF. It also proposes some antecedent variables that can help in its increment in the most diverse brazilian public security corporations, demonstrating its relevance with research already carried out in the field of public security. Through a qualitative methodology, throughout the text, each of the constructs that make up the model were theoretically and empirically defined, with conceptualization, brief history and relevant recent research that contained more than one variable of the model and/or within the scope of the public security. Subsequently, suggestions of psychometric instruments available in the literature were presented, including the adjustment indices found in their seminal research and a base model to be used, whole, fractionated or unfolded, in future research. With this design, it is understood that the objective was achieved. In addition propositions of future perspectives were presented, that can explore the limitations of the article, creating and testing different models with the proposed constructs to better understand psychological and management phenomena that will generate benefits for police officers. , for corporations and, mainly, for society.

Patterns of residential crime prevention strategies: A study in Vila Planalto, Brazil
type: item
description: The perception of the public (in)security and residential crime prevention strategies affect the urban design. This study aims to understand the patterns of crime prevention strategies used by the residents of Vila Planalto, Brazil, and evaluating how they might be correlated with the perception of safety in their neighborhood. We evaluated 1.180 houses on-site with a checklist to verify the crime prevention strategies used. Further, 206 randomly selected dwellers were interviewed, concerning their perception of safety in the neighborhood. Heat Maps showed that areas with high access control offered fewer opportunities for natural surveillance. Multidimensional scaling showed patterns of use of crime prevention strategies. There was no significant correlation between the perception of safety in the neighborhood and the amount of crime prevention strategies in the residence. However, the perception of well-lit was correlated with the perception of safety in walking during night and day. The present study helps identify decisions on crime prevention strategies and provides a prognostic for possible community interventions in the village.

COVID-19 behavior among military police of Federal District in 2020
type: item
description: Despite the implementation of social isolation measures to control Coronavirus disease, there are essential activities that cannot be interrupted, like public security agents. Such exposure promotes direct contact between these professionals and people who, even asymptomatic, may be infected. This prospective study evaluated the behavior of the COVID-19 pandemic among military police officers in the Federal District in 2020 compared to the general population of the state, based on clinical records of symptomatic military police officers who attended the Medical Center of the Federal District Military Police and records of medical certificates with ICD 10 related to COVID-19 of Occupational Health and Expertise Center. Data were compared with data of a general population of the Federal District, retrospectively obtained on the transparency portal of the Health Department. In 2020, military police officers were more affected by COVID-19 than the general population of the Federal District, but that were no sta-tistically significant difference on mortality and lethality in population of the same age. The distribution of cases was similar over the months.

Faces marked by armed violence: The daily life and psychosocial impacts of military police officers in the state of Rio de Janeiro
type: item
description: Understand the symbolic representation of firearm injuries (FI) on the face, the feelings and meanings attributed to these injuries suffered by military police officers (PO) of the State Secretariat of Military Police of the State of Rio de Janeiro (RJ); and the psychosocial impacts on the way of being and living after the violent accident. A qualitative and quantitative descriptive study was carried out based on open and closed questions collected from interviews carried out with 37 PO operated on at the Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery at the Military Police Central Hospital as a result of FI, during the period of June 2003 to December 2020. Changes in the way of being and the way of living were identified, with emphasis on a tendency towards self-isolation that is characteristic of the process of social stigmatization. Three different central ideas were found regarding the symbolic representation of the face; Mostly, a derogatory meaning was attributed to the face. Dissatisfaction with facial aesthetics and the feeling of institutional abandonment were associated with a depressive attribution of the face after the accident. The incidence of post-traumatic stress disorder (42.8%) and police officers in psychological distress (56.7%) was high. Keywords: stigma; face; fire gun; police

Police, seeing is believing: Variation in perceptions and social expectations about the Military State Police
type: item
description: The present research had as core objective to identify the perception of the citizens about the performance of the military state police institutions, according to the opinion of the students of a private institution of higher education. It was a qualitative research, using questionnaires for data collection. The answers to the questions were evaluated both in terms of their classification, and in a more profound way, by identifying the structuring nuclei of the discourse. It was found that the general perceptions about the military state police were evenly distributed, between positive, negative or neutral. It was also found that the military state police had a better assessment of the participants' place of residence, in relation to other corporations in other states. It was noticed that, in general, considering the specificities of the studied group, the population is well informed about the attributions of the military state police. Regarding the formation of opinion, it was possible to identify a greater influence of information that is accessed through the media, than of real and personal interactions with the military state police. Finally, it was possible to verify the improvement of opinion about such institutions, when exposed to their positive actions, as well as the worsening of negative judgment, when exposed to situations of problematic or disastrous performance.

PUBLIC POLICIES TO COMBAT CHILD AND ADOLESCENT SEXUAL ABUSE: WHAT ARE THE PUBLIC SECURITY AGENCIES OF THE STATE OF MINAS GERAIS DOING?
type: item
description: The objective of this study was to investigate which public policies for the prevention and confrontation of child and adolescent sexual abuse were adopted by the public security agencies of the state of Minas Gerais from 2012 to 2022. This is an exploratory and longitudinal study, using content analysis and employing quantitative methods to construct graphs. As results, some programs inserted in the public policy for social crime prevention in the state of Minas Gerais were identified; however, none of them referred to the prevention and confrontation of child and adolescent sexual abuse. Nevertheless, some actions regarding the issue were promoted by the state's public security agencies. Nearly 80 thousand occurrences were registered during the period. The age group from 11 to 15 years old is the most vulnerable. Vulnerable rape is the predominant criminal type, but many offenses are registered in a generic manner. It is affirmed the necessity of creating a multidimensional and integrative public policy for the prevention and confrontation of child and adolescent sexual abuse in the state of Minas Gerais.

Musculoskeletal Symptoms in Military Police: An Investigation of Correlated Psychosocial Factors
type: item
description: The police work is characterized by intense physical and mental demands that, combined, contribute to several health problems characteristic of this profession, including the development of musculoskeletal alterations. Therefore, the objective was to identify the possible relationships between exposure to psychosocial risk factors at work and the development of musculoskeletal dysfunctions. The research involved 103 military police officers, 15 women (14.56%) and 88 men (85.44%), with an average age of 42.15 years and (SD = 7.14) who responded to the Psychosocial Stressors Assessment Scale in the Work Context and the Brazilian version of the Nordic Musculoskeletal Questionnaire. The results indicated that 73.66% of the participants presented at least two musculoskeletal symptoms and 58.13% took time off from work; it should be noted that the most common symptoms were related to the upper body and knees. Furthermore, it was identified that most of the dimensions related to work stressors correlated positively with the presence of musculoskeletal symptoms; and that the pressure of the degree of responsibility and the lack of social support showed negative correlations with seeking specialized care. The results suggest that the intense physical demands of police work and factors related to the work environment interact negatively on the health of these citizen-workers, making it essential to look at the physical and psychosocial conditions in the context of public safety work , as well as the prevention of musculoskeletal dysfunctions.

The judicialization of psychological assessment in the selection of federal police officers in Brazil
type: item
description: The research analyzed the judicialization of psychological assessment, examining judicial decisions made in the public competition carried out by the Federal Police, with the aim of identifying the controversial aspects highlighted by the Judiciary during the selection of new employees of the police organization. From the analysis of 140 judicial decisions, it was possible to verify that, among the 22 points questioned, discussions regarding the use of the professional profile stand out; the prior availability of requirements, instruments, and profile; as well as its supposedly subjective character. The controversial aspects identified largely concern distrust in the scientificity of the tests carried out. Skepticism and lack of knowledge regarding psychological assessment were seen more strongly in the second instance. The way psychological assessments are being carried out by the police and the opposition they have received from the Judiciary are reducing their usefulness, transforming them into an innocuous stage of the selection process. Therefore, it is recommended to establish a scientific and political agenda that studies and debates the topic. Researching to understand the judicialization of psychological assessment and mitigate its effects is essential for its effective application in the selection of police officers.

Human values and organizational justice in the context of the assignments and relocation of police commissioners in a Brazilian state police
type: item
description: The study focuses on a relatively unexplored relationship in the scientific field: individual human values as predictors of organizational justice. The research context was the distribution and transfer of job positions across units within a Brazilian police organization, considered a highly important organizational resource by the participants (N=206). The variables were measured using the Portrait Value Questionnaire Refined, PVQ-R (Schwartz et al., 2012; Torres et al., 2016), and the Organizational Justice Perception Scale, OJPS (Mendonça et al., 2003). Overall means revealed that the police commissioners are motivated by conservation and self-enhancement values, with low perception of organizational justice in the distribution and mobility about job posts, particularly regarding the procedures adopted for decision-making. Inferential analyses indicated the predictive power of conservation values on distributive justice (R² = 0.043) and procedural justice (R² = 0.068), while openness to change values predicted interactional justice (R² = 0.022). The direction of significant correlations was in harmony with the sinusoidal nature of the Schwartz Motivational Continuum. The results suggest that the distribution of job location and relocation may represent uncertainty, activating the perception of police officers driven by conservation goals and reducing the perception of distributive and procedural justice, while those with opposing goals reported a higher perception of interactional justice.

Moral disengagement, feminicide and violence against women: a scope review
type: item
description: Abstract: Violence against women (VAW) and its lethal outcome, feminicide, are issues that require the attention of the most diverse public and private sectors. The present study carries out a scoping review in order to systematically map existing scientific publications on moral disengagement (MD) within the phenomena of VAW and femicide. Based on the PRISMA-ScR protocol, online databases were used to identify publications, out of which were selected 23 that used the MD perspective to evaluate phenomena related to VAW. The categories discussed were: type of publication, year of publication, language, country of research, objective, type of research, sample, phenomenon of interest, predominant method, presentation of the MDMs, data analysis, findings, simplified critical evaluation and recommendations. Some of the phenomena of interest identified were intimate partner violence, dating violence, sexist advertising, dark personality or dark traits, femicide, among some others. Given the novelty and limitations of this review, some categories did not have such in-depth discussion, yet several suggestions for future studies and theoretical-practical applications were made. Key words: scope review, moral disengagement, feminicide, violence against women, jury court

A CRITICAL ANALYSIS ON DRUG USE AND PSYCHIATRIC DIAGNOSIS
type: item
description: The present work originates from a critical question regarding traditional and recent theories about the abuse of narcotic substances. Given this, we try to go through the premises adopted from the dopamine theory and the reward system, critically exposing some studies on its total veracity. The role of drug users in contemporary times as a determinant of a neurological system, which causes chemical dependency, is questioned. The notion of a new panorama of the theme of drugs is developed, considering the various vicissitudes regarding the infinity of issues related to drug use, understanding through scientific research that, human behavior and the singularity of these people's lives speak much more about the hypothesis of drug abuse than the descriptive and limited justification of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, or DSM, for the diagnosis of Substance-Related Disorders. It also seeks to defend the idea that a small portion of the population had a real problem with substance use. Finally, two clinical cases are presented, experienced in the mandatory stage to support the theoretical hypothesis developed throughout the work.

Supply chain management applied to criminal agriculture: A case study of cocaine seizures in Brazil
type: item
description: Transnational criminal organizations such as those that operate in international drug trafficking function as multinationals, which is why it is possible to observe clear fundamentals of business management in their operations. Among them, those observing Supply Chain Management and Operations, common to legal business on a global scale, stand out. In this study, based on observations of 21 (twenty-one) large seizures of cocaine carried out by Brazilian security forces between 2017 and 2023, the application of such concepts is evident. The analyzed sample, select due to its homogeneous profile, contains import standards such as the size of the bales, the packaging technique, the type of textile fiber used in the bale packaging, the sewing pattern of the bales, the means of transport, the dynamics of logistic integration between the different stages of the supply chain. The complexity of the crime in question and the dynamics of supply chain management is a preponderant factor for its efficiency, maintenance of scale and mitigation of costs associated with losses resulting from seizures. It is also crucial for assessing the level of difficulty faced by security forces in combating international drug trafficking: the dependence on defense infrastructure, technology and intelligence is clear for defense, homeland security and police activities to be successful.

CRISIS COMMUNICATION MANAGEMENT: The Portugal’s Police of Public Security
type: item
description: Crisis management is a long-standing concern within organizations given the negative consequences that usually arise from this type of event. Given its inevitability, exceptionality, relevance, and brief time for the application of countermeasures, it becomes essential to adopt internal organizational mechanisms in institutions or companies so that the crisis can be eliminated as quickly as possible and, at the same time, mitigate its effects on stakeholders. With the continuous increase of the element "communication" in organizational crisis management, it is crucial to understand the importance that Polícia de Segurança Pública (PSP) has given to this matter. In order to fulfill this purpose, and adopting a qualitative theoretical analysis method, several strategic and communicational documents produced by the PSP were analyzed. There were no rules defining criteria or procedures regarding the management of a crisis to minimize its effects, usually harmful at a communicational level, and that affect its reputational image, which goes against the best practices suggested in the theoretical field regarding this issue.
