| description | This article presents the results of qualitative research into the “Fica Vivo!” programme’s contribution to the control and reduction of homicides in Minas Gerais (Brazil) in the views of the social and institutional actors involved. The methodology is based on semi-structured interviews and focus groups held with the leaders and monitors of the workshops, and with community leaders and professionals from the public security and penal justice sectors. In these conversations a number of tensions emerged that relate to the social functions of the programme’s actors – the technical team and the public security professionals. Among the disputed issues, particularly noticeable were the perceptions of the programme’s goals and the flow of information between the community and the team in a dynamic that does not always include the Police. |
