This study will remain with the role of the Supreme Court, and then only with its role in the character of interpretation as far as the necessitation of a new type of police power is concerned.

The thesis is a historical study from a socio-legal perspective of debates about, and developments in, criminal investigation law in NSW since 1945. In that period, the NSW parliament has enacted extensive criminal investigation powers and safeguards. This can be seen as the result of the increasing political sensitivity of 'law and order'. Politicians have sought to exercise (and demonstrate) greater control over the criminal justice system. Legislation has been employed to provide a framework for police actions, and to define a role for others, including judges, magistrates and the Ombudsman. Political focus on law and order has also reversed the incentive structure for the police hierarchy. In the 1950s, there were strong incentives not to push for extra powers, lest policing practices and effectiveness receive unwanted scrutiny. In the 1970s, police were dragged into debate about their powers, in the face of the 'authorise and regulated' model suggested by numerous inquiries. More recently, police organisations have often initiated calls for new powers, in part to explain past failings. Another important factor driving debate and reform in recent decades has been the proliferation of oversight agencies, and academic insights that have debunked the 'rotten apple' paradigm. The Federal Government and Parliament have also been increasingly active in what would once have been considered purely State/Territory realms of criminal justice law and politics. These major influences have been coupled with a host of others, including the impact of a series of Royal Commission and law reform reports, the ongoing war on drugs, and the campaign against police verbals in the 1970s and 1980s. The examination of the forces that have influenced debate and reform yields other insights. For example, the complexity of the phenomenon of 'non-reform' is apparent from an examination of debates about policing in the 1950s. Prevailing trends in law and order politics (eg, that populist politics supports additional powers) can be seen to be anchored in the contemporary political context rather than being timeless truths. The multiple roles of law, in governing relationships between state agencies and actors, not just between police and suspects, are also highlighted.

The analysis is based on a conception of social conflict institutionalized in search of understanding an integrated policing system, able to keep up with new demands on the state in the face of conflicting dynamics of the society. The theoretical model used for the construction of research supports the significant nature of power struggles and ideological struggles for legitimacy of competitive groups of a certain institutional system. / A pesquisa A Polícia do Maranhão no começo do Novo Milênio: transitando entre poder, violência e luta por direitos buscou avaliar o sistema de policiamento do Estado brasileiro em decorrência do processo de mudança institucional ocasionados pelas novas orientações constitucionais de 1988. A análise parte de uma concepção de conflito social institucionalizado em busca da compreensão de um sistema integrado de policiamento, capaz de acompanhar as novas exigências ao Estado em face das dinâmicas conflituosas do corpo social. O modelo teórico utilizado para a construção da pesquisa admite o caráter significativo dos conflitos de poder e das lutas ideológicas pela legitimidade dos grupos competitivos de determinado sistema institucional.

La cláusula de los contratos (contract clause) se convirtió en el siglo XIX en la disposición constitucional de mayor relevancia para el entendimiento de la historia constitucional americana y para el propio desarrollo del federalismo. Esta cláusula devino en el arma principal con la que la Marshall Court iba a restringir la frecuente interferencia legislativa estatal sobre los derechos de propiedad.

Quando uma ação é desencadeada, todas as dimensões citadas influenciam de alguma forma no resultado geral. É o que esta pesquisa se propõe analisar, com o objetivo de contribuir com apontamentos e subsídios psicossociológicos para o currículo relacionado ao uso da força e armas de fogo, no campo da educação policial. A metodologia combina explicação por mecanismos via técnicas etnometodológicas com utilização dos seguintes recursos: pesquisa bibliográfica, observação participante, entrevistas e grupos focais com policiais, iconografia com desenhos de confrontos elaborados por policiais que decidiram pelo uso da força letal Na introdução do trabalho, incluímos a problematização, os dilemas relacionados ao uso da força e a metodologia da pesquisa. O desenvolvimento foi estruturado em seis dimensões analíticas sobre a decisão pelo confronto armado, incluindo eventos que, em muitos episódios, resultaram no derramamento de sangue entre policiais e seus oponentes eventuais. Nas conclusões, apontamos as diversas impressões e reflexões sobre o assunto. Outras dimensões de análise podem existir, porém as seis que elencamos foram as que surgiram ao longo do desafio de quatro anos de pesquisa em educação com ênfase nas ciências sociais. / Abstract: In police action, six dimensions influence the decision to use lethal force, with a firearm in dangerous situations: 1) behavior of the police officer; 2) environment of confrontation; 3) decision making; 4) reactions emotional; 5) the learning before and after; 6) beliefs and expectations of police officers. When an action is triggered, all these dimensions in some way, can influence the overall result. That's what this thesis analyze search, with the aim of contributing to analysis psychosociological for curriculum related to the use of force and firearms, in the field of education. The methodology combines the following features: literature review, participant observation, interviews and focus groups, iconography with drawings prepared by police officers about use of lethal force. In the introduction to the work, include the problem, dilemmas related to the use of force, and research methodology. The development was divided into six analytical dimensions of the decision by the armed confrontation. The conclusions point out the various impressions and thoughts on the subject. Further analysis dimensions may exist, but the six that were those that emerged during the challenge four years of research in education with an emphasis in social sciences. / Doutorado / Ciencias Sociais na Educação / Doutor em Educação

In 2008, a policy to address the territorialisation of the drug trade in Rio de Janeiro’s favelas was developed: the pacification of favelas. It involves two key elements, policing and local development, which are said to work in tandem to conquer the territory from drug dealers and integrate these areas to the city. Drawing from the literature on the governance of marginalized areas and neoliberal practices of security, this study explores how the pacification of favelas unfolds within a neoliberal context. The findings of this study are based on a thematic analysis of twenty-five in-depth interviews with key actors involved in the development and implementation of three core projects of the policy (the Pacifying Police Unit and two projects that coordinates social efforts, UPP Social and Peace Territories). Using the theoretical lenses of pacification proposed by Neocleous (2011) and Rigakos (2011), this research argues that the pacification of favelas can be considered a "project of pacification" (Rigakos, 2011). The analysis demonstrates that the dual strategy of the policy reinforces neoliberal practices to govern through fear, resulting in the militarization of favelas. Moreover, this study also finds that this policy serves capitalist interests when implemented within a neoliberal framework, even though its core elements resemble interventionist initiatives of colonial enterprises. My findings also reveal that some participants resist the implementation of initiatives based on a neoliberal framework. However, although their actions seek to emancipate and build an ethical community in favelas, based on long-term and fraternal bonds, the mainstream approach is still prevalent. As a result, favelas are progressively turned into aesthetic communities in which the interests of the market are the driving force.

Em diálogo com um debate que questiona a fortaleza do Estado de direito e o lugar da ordem legal na construção de um regime democrático, esta pesquisa analisa o fundamento e o funcionamento da Lei de Cultura Cívica da Cidade do México. A Lei de Cultura Cívica é uma lei que, desde 2004, regula o uso do espaço público (práticas, atividades, comportamentos) na capital mexicana, enquanto o juzgado cívico é a instituição na qual se processam e se determinam as conciliações, responsabilidades, infrações e punições dos infratores dessa lei. Com base em um trabalho de campo em um juzgado cívico do Centro Histórico da Cidade do México, exploram-se as configurações históricas e políticas que têm feito desse espaço uma zona entre fronteiras de legalidade entre o legal, o ilegal e o informal, em um denso entramado de relacionamentos sociais e circuitos de mercadorias. Assim, a partir de práticas e contextos situados, em uma perspectiva de antropologia do Estado, estuda-se o uso cotidiano que, nos juzgados cívicos, se faz da Lei de Cultura Cívica. Nesses usos, analisam-se particularmente os circuitos, as práticas e os mecanismos pelos quais é possível produzir uma verdade jurídica que diverge do registro empírico. Para analisar essas práticas e produções dentro do campo jurídico, propõe-se o conceito de legalismo. Finalmente, considera-se o espaço do arbítrio e da discrição na Lei de Cultura Cívica, como parte de um direito administrativo que espalha, pelas ruas da cidade, um particular poder de polícia, um poder que, em nome da lei, suspende, com suma frequência, os próprios princípios legais. / In dialogue with a debate that questions the strength of the rule of law and the place of legal order in the construction of a democratic regime, this research analyzes the foundation and operation of the Civic Culture Law of Mexico City. The Civic Culture Law is a law that, since 2004, regulates the use of public space (practices, activities, behaviors) in Mexico City, while the juzgado cívico is the institution in which the reconciliations, responsibilities, infractions and punishments of the offenders of this law are processed and determined. Based on fieldwork in a juzgado cívico in Mexico City\'s Historic Center, I explore the historical and political configurations that have made of this space a zone between boundaries of legality between the legal, the illegal and the informal in a dense web of social relationships and commercial circuits. Therefore, based on practices and situated contexts, in a perspective of anthropology of the State, I study the everyday use of the Civic Culture Law in the juzgados cívicos. Regarding these uses, I analyze with particular attention the circuits, practices and mechanisms that enable the production of a legal truth that differs from the empirical record. To analyze these practices and productions within the legal field, I propose the concept of legalism. Finally, I consider the place of arbitrariness and discretion in the Civic Culture Law as part of an administrative law that spreads, throughout the city streets, a particular police power, a power that, in the name of the law, often suspends the laws legal principles.
