The book gives flesh and blood to these transformations through a careful study of Sao Paulo's case in Brazil. The first part of the book is based on the trajectories of three families, featuring young men affiliated with illegal markets such as drug dealing and car theft, although in very different situations. The clash between the everyday life patterns of these black families, compared to Sao Paulo's white middle classes, gives plausibility to the city's social conflict, most violent after the 80's, when transnational markets arrive and incarceration grows. Sao Paulo's case offers more: this conflict is 70% less lethal in 2017 than it was in the 2000, mostly due to the actions of the PCC (the main criminal group in Brazil, a transnational one) discussed in the second part of the book. The "world of crime" is stronger , yet at the same time homicide rates are falling. The final argument demonstrates that informality, illegality and criminal violence are produced entangling legal and illegal markets and formal/informal institutions, not only in Sao Paulo. -- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Crime $z Sao Paulo $z Sao Paulo $x Sociological aspects. 650 0 $a Violence $z Sao Paulo. $z Sao Paulo. 650 0 $a Public safety $z Sao Paulo. $z Sao Paulo. 650 7 $a Crime $x Sociological aspects. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00883017 776 08 $i ebook version : $z 9781526138255 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20220526020435.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=0A3BE214177D11EC850ADFAD22ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
