Community Policing in the Favelas of Rio de Janeiro (2008-2015): A Case Study of the Unidades de Polícia Pacificadora (UPPs)

Bachelor thesis | International Studies (BA)
Latin America is one of the most violent regions in the world. There have not been consistent policies to improve this situation in Latin America, due to lack of proper reform and bad cooperation between state institutions. The Unidades de Polícia Pacificadora are a relatively new community policing program that has been implemented in Rio de Janeiro, in order to bring down violence in the favelas. The process of implementation of the UPPs of Santa Marta, Complexo do Alemão and Rocinha will be discussed and evaluated.
