Stability: International Journal of Security & Development, 3(1): 20, pp. 1-18, DOI: http://dx.doi. org/10.5334/sta.dr RESEARCH ARTICLE Effectiveness and Evaluation of Crime Prevention Programs in Minas Gerais Claudio Beato* and Andréa Maria Silveira† This essay analyzes previous studies evaluating the effectiveness of the crime prevention policies adopted by the Government of Minas Gerais (Brazil). In this work, greater emphasis is placed on studies evaluating outcomes than on studies dealing with the process of setting up and implementing programs and projects. In order to allow a more systematic discussion, the Maryland Scale, which cat- egorizes research and evaluations according to the methodological strengths and weaknesses in five levels, is employed. Subsequently, the authors draw a parallel between Brazil and other settings. Finally, this essay lays out the implications of this discussion regarding the prevention programs. Introduction broader reach in the execution of programs A mix of social policy and crime prevention targeting more specific groups such as the programs is often proposed to keep crime young, high-risk families, youths on proba- rates low.

    Civil Society and Citizen Security in Brazil: A Fragile but Evolving Relationship by Elizabeth Leeds WOLA Senior Fellow for Brazil The relationship between civil society and public safety officials in Brazil has evolved steadily over the past three decades. Human rights groups and academics are increasingly involved in discussions with members of the police and government officials about how to improve both the effectiveness and accountability of public safety policies. Despite certain political openings for rights-respecting policies at the state and federal level, deep-seated obstacles remain that frequently hinder the reforms’ potential for success.

    UNITED CCPR NATIONS International covenant Distr. on civil and GENERAL political rights CCPR/C/BRA/2004/2 11 April 2005 Original: ENGLISH HUMAN RIGHTS COMMITTEE CONSIDERATION OF REPORTS SUBMITTED BY STATES PARTIES UNDER ARTICLE 40 OF THE COVENANT Second periodic report BRAZIL* [15 November 2004] * The report is issued unedited, in compliance with the wish expressed by the Human Rights Committee at its sixty-sixth session in July 1999. GE.05-41019 CCPR/C/BRA/2004/2 Page 2 1. Introduction 1. Since Brazil's ratification of the 1966 International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights on January 24, 1992, a number of political and institutional changes have been implemented and significant progress has been made in the effort to build a normative framework capable of guaranteeing the fundamental rights of individuals in the country. Despite those changes and the process of democratic consolidation pursued up to now, significant challenges remain with respect to securing economic and social improvements capable of ensuring application of those rights, as well as transforming the guarantees formally assured in the Constitution and the infra-constitutional legislation into a cultural mindset. The experience of the decade since the first report on the Covenant on Civil and Political Rights was submitted by the federal government, in 1994, has been marked by a disturbing contradiction: while on the one hand, Brazil has never before achieved a comparable level of progress in building a legal order committed to Human Rights, on the other hand, some of these achievements have yet to be reflected in public policies or effective guarantees for the Brazilian population.

  • Addressing Violence Against Women (VAW) Under COVID-19 in Brazil
    Public Disclosure Authorized Addressing Violence against Women (VAW) under COVID-19 in Brazil Emerging evidence from COVID-19 impacts as well as lessons from past epidemics suggest that signicant risks of VAW increase in these contexts, especially in countries with weak health systems, weak rule of law, and already high levels of VAW and gender inequality. Recent reports indicate that this is also the case in Brazil. Data from the rst two months of connement measures (March-April 2020) point to a 22% increase in femicide and a 27% increase in complaints to the national VAW helpline, when compared to the same period of Public Disclosure Authorized 2019. Increased economic stress due to income losses, anxiety in face of the epidemic and fear of contagion, social isolation and mandatory connement with potential abusers and with children at home indicate that women and girls are likely to be more exposed to intimate partner violence and sexual exploitation and abuse during this period. While risks increase, access to health, security and justice sector services provided to survivors may be limited due to de-prioritization of funding, closed facilities and restrictions on public mobility. This note aims at providing support to federal and subnational governments in understanding the increased risks of VAW in the country under COVID-19 and providing the most appropriate responses in the short, medium and longer term. It points to evidence of Public Disclosure Authorized epidemic-related risk factors connected to increased levels of VAW, trends of VAW during the COVID-19 epidemic in Brazil, policy measures and interventions implemented globally to mitigate adverse impacts, as well as response eorts that have been put in place both by governments and civil society organizations.

The federal legislative branch exercises authority independent of the executive branch. In 1998 voters reelected President Fernando Henrique Cardoso to a second 4-year term. The 1998 elections marked the third time since the end of military rule in 1985 that citizens freely chose their president and elected the legislative bodies in accordance with the 1988 Constitution. All parties are able to compete on the basis of fair and equal procedures. The judiciary is independent but inefficient and subject to political and economic influence. In June the Government passed legislation creating the Ministry of Defense and swore in the first civilian minister. The chiefs of the army, navy, and air force gave up their separate cabinet-level positions. Police forces fall primarily under the control of the states. State police are divided into two forces: The civil police, who have an investigative role, and the uniformed police, known officially as the "military police," who are responsible for maintaining public order.

Our purpose is to present reflections that help understand the impasses which ultimately led to the burial of a reputedly successful public policy and to a return to the old way public safety has historically been managed by Brazilian federative states. Our findings inform that the priority agenda of integration promoted by the State Secretariat of Social Defense did manage to institutionalize itself for some time. Nonetheless, as the office goes through political transformations, priorities in the agenda also change, denoting path dependence, given the resumption of the institutional arrangement that existed prior to 2003, with police institutions on one side and the prison system on the other. In this context, the novelty is the permanence of prevention actions. Keywords: Public Safety, Discontinuity, Agenda Problem, Path dependence, Minas Gerais. I. INTRODUCTION The result from this historical conception on the causes of crime in Brazil was a reduction of public In national and international imaginary, Brazil safety to an excessive surveillance over certain layers stands as a nation marked by violence.
