This dissertation analyzed the daily life of policewomen who work in operational service of the military police of Sergipe. Sought to understand the strategies proposed by the power relations established in the context of work, in order to list possible situations of disrespect and discrimination, considering the model of manhood still be prevalent in everyday police practices. The search took as central proposal of work performed by women police officers who are embedded in the operating units, as is the case of shock Battalion, unit observed by analyzing the dynamics that emerge from social relationships. In this sense, the problem took place around understanding how the work of women in operational units, which are places constructed microwave counter action in your templates, or is seen as male strongholds, is characterized in the context of gender and power relations that are established. In addition to the observations in the field, nine interviews were conducted with women who work or worked in operational policing. The dissertation was structured in three chapters. The first deals with the conditions for the inclusion of women in the police, the aspects involving the socialization process specific police institutions. Also presented are the pillars that upholds this order and the parameters that support the power relationships that develop. Gender issues are discussed, as well as the Justice of the quest for social recognition. The second chapter presents a general approach of studies on women in police institutions, women in the world of work, reaching typically masculine professions. It then presents the Military Police context of Sergipe, the insertion of women police officers, a brief history of shock Battalions Brazil level and Sergipe, their everyday actions to reach the theoretical approaches that address the standards and procedures necessary for the proper functioning of the operational units as well as the skills/abilities required for the performance of police work imposed to that body. In the third chapter, prioritize the gender social relations that are established under the DPO from data obtained in the research in order to understand them in accordance with the established theoretical parameters. This dissertation allows you to show that the participation of working women is wrapped by the operational PM diversity of established powers, by the non-recognition of certain actions at the expense of maintaining the current model of masculinity, but also points to new ways of doing the policing. Women unite to the model already established, extending them artfully with the female attributes such as flexibility and attention.

Procurou compreender as estratégias propostas pelas relações de força estabelecidas no âmbito de trabalho, a fim de elencar possíveis situações de desrespeito e discriminação, haja vista o modelo de masculinidade ainda ser predominante no cotidiano das práticas policiais. A pesquisa teve como proposta central o estudo do trabalho realizado por mulheres policiais que estão inseridas nas unidades operacionais, como é o caso do Batalhão de Choque, unidade observada, analisando, portanto, as dinâmicas que emergem das relações sociais de gênero. Nesse sentido, a problemática se deu em torno de compreender como o trabalho da mulher nas unidades operacionais, que são lugares construídos de modo masculinizado em seus modelos de ação, ou seja, vistos como redutos masculinos, se caracteriza no âmbito das relações de gênero e poder que ali são estabelecidas. Além das observações no campo, foram realizadas nove entrevistas com mulheres que atuam ou atuaram no policiamento operacional. A dissertação foi estruturada em três capítulos. O primeiro trata das condicionantes para a inserção das mulheres nas polícias, os aspectos que envolvem o processo de socialização específico das instituições policiais. São apresentados também os pilares que sustêm esta ordem e os parâmetros que sustentam as relações de poder que ali se desenvolvem. São discutidas as questões de gênero, bem como as de justiça que suscitam a busca por reconhecimento social. O segundo capítulo apresenta uma abordagem geral dos estudos sobre mulheres nas instituições policiais, mulheres no mundo do trabalho, chegando às profissões tipicamente masculinas. Em seguida, apresenta o contexto Polícia Militar de Sergipe, a inserção das mulheres policiais, um breve histórico dos Batalhões de Choque no Brasil e de Sergipe, suas ações cotidianas até chegar às abordagens teóricas que tratam dos padrões e procedimentos necessários ao bom funcionamento das unidades operacionais bem como as competências/habilidades necessárias ao desempenho do trabalho policial instituídas para aquele corpo social. No terceiro capítulo, priorizam-se as relações sociais de gênero que se estabelecem no âmbito do policiamento ostensivo a partir dos dados obtidos na pesquisa, de modo a compreendê-las segundo os parâmetros teóricos estabelecidos. Esta dissertação permite mostrar que a participação das mulheres no trabalho operacional da PM está envolta pela diversidade de poderes estabelecidos, pelo não reconhecimento de determinadas ações em detrimento da manutenção do modelo de masculinidade vigente, mas também aponta novas formas de fazer o policiamento. As mulheres se aliam ao modelo já estabelecido, ampliando-os astuciosamente com os atributos femininos, tais como flexibilidade e atenção. Com isso aumentam a mobilidade das ações, inovando e surpreendendo nas práticas laborais e nas interações sociais.

La violence contre les policiers a des répercussions importantes à la fois chez les policiers et pour les administrateurs de la police. En 2005, le taux canadien de voies de fait contre la police a atteint son plus haut sommet en plusieurs décennies, faisant état d’une situation préoccupante. Plusieurs provinces canadiennes connaissent d’ailleurs une hausse marquée de la violence contre leurs policiers depuis plusieurs années. Cette étude vise donc à examiner et à comprendre l’évolution du phénomène de violence contre les policiers au Canada par l’identification de facteurs qui pourraient expliquer les variations du taux de voies de fait contre les policiers. La méthode d’analyse privilégiée dans le cadre de cette étude est une analyse transversale de séries chronologiques regroupées (pooled time series) qui traite des données portant sur les dix provinces canadiennes pour une période allant de 1986 à 2006. Les résultats indiquent que plusieurs facteurs ont un impact sur la violence dont sont victimes les policiers : la proportion de la population âgée entre 15 et 24 ans, la proportion d’hommes de 15 ans et plus, la proportion de la population vivant dans une région urbaine, la proportion de gens divorcés, les taux résiduels de crimes de violence et de crimes rattachés aux drogues, et le nombre d’évasions et de personnes en liberté sans excuse. La présence croissante de policières, qui fait encore l’objet de débats, semble quant à elle réduire le nombre de voies de fait contre la police, quoique l’impact de ce facteur soit de faible portée. Au Québec, la une hausse importante du taux de voies de fait contre les policiers pourrait s’expliquer par la hausse de plusieurs facteurs identifiés comme jouant un rôle dans le phénomène, bien qu’il ne faille pas écarter qu’un changement dans la reportabilité puisse entrer en ligne de compte. / Violence against police officers has important implications both for police officers and police administration. In 2005, the Canadian rate of assault against police officers rose to its highest in decades, showing a worrying situation. Moreover, several Canadian provinces are experiencing a marked increase in violence against their police officers for several years. This study aims to examine and understand the trend of violence against the police officers in Canada by identifying factors affecting the rate of assaults against police officers. In order to do so, a pooled time series analysis, which processes data on the ten Canadian provinces for the period from 1986 to 2006, was performed. Findings indicate that several factors have an impact on the violence against the police: the proportion of young people aged 15-24, the proportion of males aged 15 and more, the proportion of population living in urban areas, the proportion of divorced people, the residual rates of violent crimes and drug crimes, and the number of people who escaped custody and prisoners unlawfully at large. The growing presence of women police officers, which is still debated, appears to reduce the number of assaults against police officers, although the impact of this factor is of limited scope. In Quebec, the continual increase in the rate of assaults against the police officers can possibly be explained by the increase of several factors identified as playing a role in the phenomenon, although a change in crime reporting can also be taken into account.
