Indicadores para o monitoramento e avaliação das políticas municipais de segurança pública: uma reflexão a partir de um estudo de caso

Abstract

The purpose of this article is to present an examination and key contribution to the problems of monitoring and evaluating municipal public policies. Working off of a case study of an implemented Municipal Public Safety Plan, our aim is to show how this experience can allow for the construction of a conceptual framework that makes measurements of monitoring and evaluation viable for the forming of public policies aimed at reduction of crime and violence and the betterment of quality of life in public space. The intention is to identify problems and create, based on an outline of benchmarks, goals and strategies of implementation, indicators for the monitoring and evaluation of each one of the interventions carried out. With this, we hope to prove the viability of the generalization of these indicators for other Brazilian municipalities that are in the process of implementing Municipal Public Safety Plans.
