Direito difuso à Segurança Pública e o papel do Ministério Público: o caso do CISP

Abstract

This study analyzed the implementation of the Interinstitutional Committee on Public Security (CISP) in the region of Serrinha/BA between 2014 and 2017, the contribution of agents in the development of actions and the role of the Public Prosecutor in the promotion of diffuse law to public safety. It was investigated which factors collaborate or constrain individuals for collective action. There are no studies on the role of the Public Ministry in the implementation of public security policies in Bahia. This was a case study, with a qualitative approach based on documentary analysis and semi-structured interviews with committee members. The data were analyzed from the perspective of Pierre Bourdieu’s theories of rational and reflexive action, as well as the concept of governance. CISP manages and integrates public safety actions with a focus on prevention through partnerships between institutions of public security systems, criminal justice, basic social rights, academia and community. Agents cooperate for collective action not only by rational calculations, but also by feelings of belonging, which encourages them in the pursuit of the common good. The Public Prosecutor’s Office, for its constitutional position, can be a great catalyst for this process.
