O uso excessivo da força policial: uma análise jurídica acerca da postura adotada pelo Estado brasileiro diante da violência perpetrada pelos órgãos de segurança pública

Abstract

This research seeks to analyze the various aspects involving the phenomenon of police violence in Brazilian society, especially with regard to the stance that the State adopts in the face of this problem. To this end, it was necessary to conduct a bibliographic, documentary and case study analysis, based on various scientific works, doctrines, legislation and national and international judicial decisions. To achieve the proposed objectives, the study sought to investigate the scenario of crime and violence existing in the country, highlighting how police institutions act in this context, in addition to understanding how the issue of public safety is treated by the Public Authorities, both at the national and state levels, analyzing, in this last case, the situation in the state of Piauí. At the end of the work, it was possible to identify a series of illegalities in the State's actions, from the violence practiced by the police to the impunity guaranteed by the judicial bodies. Thus, a serious problem was found in the way the State deals with violent crime, resulting in consequences for the entire Brazilian society, especially for the country's democratic system.
