Gestão compartilhada, avaliação e monitoramento na Península de Itapagipe: por uma crítica antirracista à política de segurança pública

Abstract

This research was conceived as a way of confronting the structural racism that affects Afrodiasporic black bodies-territories, especially the lethal violence produced by the state from the point of view of public security, seeking alternatives for confronting it. The prologue singularizes the research involved from the point of view of the embodied researcher, as well as memorializing people who have been victims of racial violence and/or important black personalities, as a way of decolonizing knowledge and being. Its overall objective is to develop a proposal for an instrument for evaluating and monitoring public safety, with a focus on tackling racism, based on shared management between public authorities and civil society, in the Itapagipe Peninsula, in Salvador-Bahia. This is a qualitative approach to obtaining data and information, with the possibility of quantitative analysis of specific issues, in line with the principles of social management and decoloniality. Its specific objectives are to understand how public security agents and civil society understand citizen security, community participation and the fight against racism in this territory and how the processes of evaluating and monitoring public security policy in Salvador are carried out. From a theoretical-methodological point of view, we mobilized theoretical concepts, access to public documents and legislation related to the themes of body-territory, public security, racism, decoloniality, public policies, evaluation and monitoring, citizen participation, social management and technology. Twelve semistructured interviews were conducted with key informants from civil society and public security in Salvador, as well as mixed questionnaires with police officers linked to the Community Base in the Uruguai neighborhood. A Social Residency was also carried out in Cali, Colombia, in an attempt to understand the social dynamics of a black and peripheral territory outside Brazil, bringing the two countries closer together by carrying out 7 interviews with social actors from the El Chontaduro Cultural Association, which hosted the residency. Thinking about these two territories on which the research was based, we highlight the concept of the body-territory, which is fundamental to understanding Afro-diasporic socio-territorial dynamics, based on a collective memory. The data was processed through documentary, bibliographic and discourse analysis of the key informants interviewed and contributed to the main result of this research, i.e. the Territorial Development Social Management Technology - a proposal for citizen evaluation and monitoring of public security policy, aimed at tackling racism. This proposal shows that it is a complex, dialogical, reflective, multifactorial process with many agreements to be made, which requires time to implement, based on shared management between public security agents and the community.
