POLÍCIA CIDADÃ: UM OLHAR NA INCLUSÃO SOCIAL /MT

Abstract

This report analyzes the concept and practice of community-oriented policing in the state of
Mato Grosso, highlighting its development from initial studies on the implementation of
social inclusion projects to the consolidation of such initiatives. The main objective is to
discuss the principles and foundations that underpin community policing and to reflect on its
application in the peripheral neighborhoods of Mato Grosso’s cities. These projects aim to
transform social realities marked by high levels of violence, emphasizing the role of
police-led social initiatives as strategies for inclusion and crime prevention. Thus, this study
seeks to understand and assess the relevance of these actions in fostering social inclusion and
reducing urban violence. The methodology adopted is based on a bibliographic review,
allowing for a critical analysis of the theoretical and practical foundations that support the
community policing model in Mato Grosso.
