Abstract

The use of lethal force in police actions is one of the greatest chalenges of contemporary Brazil democracy. Since the redemocratization process, the lethal force and violence by police occupy the core of the debate on public security. Although many iniciatives and a hole new researchs stressed concern with the problem, only a few steps are taken to stablish effective accountability on police brutality until this day. In face of the problem, the main concern of this project is providing a review on international scholarship towards new possibilities on the comprheension of persistent violence and the perpectives over controlling its effects. To this, the concern of this project is to underline the international debate over excessive use of force by police, concerning the Portuguese experience as well. (AU)
