A experiência moçambicana na área da segurança pública a partir da Constituição : aproximações com o modelo brasileiro

Abstract

The present work proposes to develop an analysis on Mozambican public security through a dialogue with the Brazilian public security model, highlighting, from the Mozambican Constitution, the militarized content and its respective effects on the police of this country. We seek to investigate how the military aspect of public security practices is related to the Constitution of Mozambique and Brazil, the result of the colonial past of the first and inheritance of the military dictatorship of the second, and as such a characteristic still perpetuates and damages the exercise of the evoked democratic system In the Constitution. The most relevant distinctions between the Mozambican and Brazilian Constitutions are that in the first one, the duties and prohibitions of police action are not clearly presented, while in the second one there are remnants of the public security of the former regime, the military dictatorship, in the current democratic regime. Therefore, from the analysis of the police control mechanisms in Mozambique and Brazil, we observe the differences between the two countries and the reflexes that the models of public security of both carry of their respective pasts, explaining the necessity of reform of these systems for a better adaptation to democracy.
