Processos de (des)institucionalização: uma análise da fase pós-implementação do programa ronda no bairro no Amazonas.

Abstract

Since 2010, the State of Amazonas has hosted significant innovations in its public security governance structure and practices, highlighted by the consolidation of the state's social defense policy. One of the most prominent initiatives has been the Ronda no Bairro Program, which emerged as a paradigm of collaborative governance and integrated management, promoting effective and systemic coordination among various public security agencies. Anchored in institutional theory, this dissertation investigates the response dynamics of the Amazonas Military Police (PMAM) and the Civil Police of Amazonas (PCAM) to the requirements imposed by the Government of Amazonas in the implementation of the Ronda no Bairro Program. Adopting the analytical model proposed by Oliver (1991), which explores a spectrum of organizational responses from compliance to resistance, and from passivity to proactivity, the study employs a qualitative case study methodology, following the guidelines established by Yin (2001). Data collection involved a comprehensive review of literature and documents, including articles, government reports, and official documents, supplemented by semi- structured interviews with managers and police officers who participated in the program. The analysis culminated in proposing a Bill to establish Guidelines for Public Security in Amazonas, aiming to achieve a more integrated, efficient, and resilient management. This project highlights the operational integration among security entities, the promotion of human rights, and a collective approach to combating crime, suggesting the creation of a consultative management committee to monitor and implement evidence-based strategies. This legal milestone intends to ensure the continuity and effectiveness of security actions, transcending political contingencies and thereby strengthening the trust relationship between the population and security institutions. The proposal emphasizes the need for an expanded public security approach, integrating various sectors to address the multifaceted causes of violence and promote a safer, more peaceful society, with a renewed commitment to public security as a fundamental right and a collective duty. This process reinforces the enduring commitment to public security as a state policy, transcending political contingencies and ensuring the institutionalization of programs like Ronda no Bairro, so that effective community policing practices not only endure but also thrive through political transitions.
