Abstract

This conjuncture note proposes a reflection on the policies of public security, the urban violence and the current criminal issue as an effect of long cultural continuity and permanence of the Inquisition and the Slavery. Being present in Brazilian society since Portuguese colonization, the inquisitoriality and authoritarianism in social relationships are presented in the Brazilian republican order, characterized as authoritarian, oligarchic and excluding. The media is shown as promoters of the idea of a seemingly unavoidable ‘chaos’, emerging the imposition of repressive actions as the ‘only’ exit, and indicating that alternative and non-authoritarian alternative strategies do not yet have sufficient political force to be imposed.
