O discurso modernizador: uma análise da importação de modelos de segurança pública pela Polícia Militar de Minas Gerais

Abstract

This research is devoted to study how occurred the importation of the model of public security of the city of New York by the Military Police of Minas Gerais. The study will focus on ways of shaping and adapting the model and theories that inspired its construction in the PMMG workplace. About the theories that influenced the creation of contemporary police and its reforms, we will quote the theory of management administration and the theory of opportunities as main sources. Regarding the model to be imported, we will analyze the construction of public security policy of the NYPD, his reforms and dilemmas. We will build on the perception that a model cannot be imported and fully implemented on social, economic and cultural realities different from that of its construction. At last, we will position ourselves critically in this regard that we call the “PMMG modernizing speech".
