This book contributes to the emerging field of southern criminology by engaging with the perils faced by people living in 'favelas' in Brazil and critically investigating the discourse of state actors. It combines original ethnographic data with critical analysis to expand understandings of violence and control in urban and postcolonial contexts. This study challenges dominant practices and notions of security and control. Its objective is to decolonise knowledge and shed light on issues relating to policing, coercion, and the great socioeconomic, historical and spatial inequalities that shape the lives of millions of people in the global South. The findings of this book expose the exacerbation of social problems by the expansion of the penal and crime industry, unsettling the applicability and universalism of mainstream managerial criminology. The evidence reveals that new modes of securitisation have not addressed long-standing issues of sexism, racism, classism and brutalisation in the police. Moreover, through the increasing use of methods of control and incarceration, security programmes have failed to prevent diverse forms of violence and challenge the expansion of organised crime. Instead they have exacerbated the inequalities that affect the most marginalised populations. Written in a clear and direct style this book will appeal to students and scholars in criminology, sociology, cultural studies, social theory and those interested in learning about the social injustice that exists in the Global South"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Police $z Brazil. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2010106734 650 0 $a Urban violence $z Brazil. 650 0 $a Urban youth $z Brazil. 650 7 $a Police. $2 fast $0 http://id.worldcat.org/fast/1068398 $0 http://id.worldcat.org/fast/1068398 650 7 $a Urban violence. $2 fast $0 http://id.worldcat.org/fast/1162689 $0 http://id.worldcat.org/fast/1162689 650 7 $a Urban youth. $2 fast $0 http://id.worldcat.org/fast/1162702 $0 http://id.worldcat.org/fast/1162702 651 7 $a Brazil. $2 fast $0 http://id.worldcat.org/fast/1206830 $0 http://id.worldcat.org/fast/1206830 776 08 $i ebook version : $z 9780429013362 830 0 $a Routledge studies in crime and justice in Asia and the global South. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/no2018118945 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231021023022.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=67D33376DCB911EC8436229451ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
