A política criminal de drogas e a atuação do DENARC/RS no combate às drogas

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the drug policy and its consequences produced in combating the trade in illicit substances, mainly in the form of police action. Therefore, the aim of this study was the analysis of the forms of police action in the implementation of this policy, the identification of the subjects involved and the results produced by the police action with regard to made seizures and incriminated individuals. For this the research was divided into two chapters. At first chapter, there was a chronological review of the implementation of the criminal policy of drug over time in order to reflect on the reasons for its emergence. Also, we attempted to study the consequences generated because of criminal drug policy, analyzing the impacts from the alleged legislative intent, the outlawry, reduce the consumption of certain substances and violence. In the second chapter presents the field research conducted in the State Department of Narcotics Investigations (DENARC / RS) of the state civil police. We analyzed police investigations containing arrest records in the act and detailed terms. In addition to observing the practices and discourses produced by security agents to understand what the dynamics and motivations of their actions, who are incriminated subject, what are the nature and quantity of seized substances and objects, and finally, if there are and what are the criteria that guide the typical frameworks for trafficking and consumption of drugs. Thus, it was possible to realize the fragility of police action, manifested in superficiality of investigations In addition, there was little impact produced by the police actions in the traffic market that, in addition to small seizures made, occur - invariably - in the same places, vulnerable urban areas, reaching thus always the same social class individuals more low, with little study and people with police records, regardless of the amount of seized substances.
