After all, what justifies the criminal, deviant act. What drives an individual to commit a crime against their fellow human beings. Philosophy, sociology, and criminology have taken it upon themselves to propose theoretical bases to explain crime and the state's right to punish. These theories can be divided into two theoretical bases: consensus and conflict, with different, conflicting epistemological bases. The purpose of this paper was to present an approximation between two important categories for understanding crime in modern times: urban disorder, from the Chicago School, based on the theory of consensus, and the category of structural violence, coined by Alessandro Baratta and his critical criminology, with a theoretical alignment in the discourses of conflict. The Chicago School's urban and social disorder serves as a micro-sociological analysis, with an empirical basis for understanding the phenomenon of the spatiality of cities and the address of crime. The category of structural violence, from a more macro- sociological viewpoint, anchors a connection between class interests and the great inequalities that exist in cities, also pointing to those who classify what is “normal” and what is “deviant.” Once the theory has been established, two neighborhoods in São Luís with antagonistic data on intentional violent crimes in the years 2017-2021 were used to demonstrate that the CEP of certain crimes, such as intentional violent crimes (IVC), are generally associated with a great deal of structural and social urban disorder, perusing as a solution that public security policies should be thought of in parallel with public safety policies, attacking urban disorder and structural violence in a planned way.

The judicialization of these disputes has revealed the limitations of the traditional procedural model, especially classical possessory protection, which often proves incapable of producing stable and socially legitimate solutions. In this context, situated within the research line Dynamics and Effectiveness of Justice System Institutions and linked to the research project The Crisis of Representative Democracy in the 21st Century, this dissertation analyzes structural litigation as an instrument for the realization of the fundamental right to housing, focusing on the performance of the Land Conflict Resolution Commission of the Court of Justice of the State of Maranhão, in light of the guidelines established by ADPF 828. The research adopts a qualitative and theoretical-empirical approach, developed through specialized bibliographical review, normative analysis, and documentary examination of institutional acts and procedural records related to the Commission’s activities. It is grounded on the understanding of collective land conflicts as structural problems, characterized by persistent states of institutional nonconformity, which require prospective, dialogical, and cooperative judicial responses. From this perspective, the study examines structural litigation and the Multi Door Courthouse paradigm as models capable of guiding structural decisions, transition regimes, and mechanisms of continuous monitoring, fostering interinstitutional coordination and the participation of affected communities, in dialogue with contemporary challenges concerning the transformation and effectiveness of justice institutions. It concludes that the Land Conflict Resolution Commission of the Court of Justice of Maranhão constitutes a relevant institutional mechanism for the practical implementation of structural litigation, contributing to the restructuring of judicial responses to collective land conflicts, the mitigation of the social impacts of evictions, and the promotion of the right to housing, although it still faces limits arising from the complexity of such conflicts and from the dependence on extrajudicial public policies for the consolidation of negotiated solutions.

In this context, this study analyzes the crime of noise pollution in the Anjo da Guarda neighborhood, in São Luís, Maranhão (Brazil), in 2024. Mechanisms of social control are situated within two broad matrices whose assumptions serve as epistemological anchors: on the one hand, the tradition associated with the classical liberal state and a consensual conception of society; on the other, perspectives grounded in the idea of a structurally conflictual society. From this framework, the study examines the contours of Critical Criminology and the social disorganization theories linked to the Chicago School tradition, whose foundations were later incorporated into Criminology of Place, also examined within the scope of opportunity theories. It further points to the possibility of developing an acoustic criminology. Methodologically, the research adopted a predominantly inductive line of reasoning, using descriptive and diagnostic procedural methods, through a literature review, analysis of documentary sources from units of the Maranhão Civil Police, fieldwork, and interviews with community leaders in the aforementioned neighborhood. The results revealed a spatial concentration of records (a hotspot) and marked contiguity between bars and residences. The study concluded that the effectiveness of social control is fragile, associated both with insufficient state oversight and with indications of low social cohesion. Finally, it concluded that the persistence of noise pollution stems from the articulation between cultural and institutional vectors, which may guide more rational and effective strategies.

Autor: SANTOS, Bruna Danyelle Pinheiro das Chagas Primeiro orientador: GUIMARÃES, Claudio Alberto Gabriel Abstract: This research aimed to analyze the process of municipalization of public security from the perspective of situational prevention, using the city of São Luís, in the state of Maranhão, as an empirical reference. The focus was on identifying crime hotspots in light of the theoretical contributions of Place Criminology and Crime Geography. It was understood that crime is not distributed homogeneously in urban space, but tends to concentrate in certain areas, influenced by structural, environmental, and social factors. In this context, the study sought to investigate how municipal management can play a strategic role in confronting various forms of violence, through the formulation and implementation of more territorialized and sensitive public security policies tailored to local specificities. From a methodological point of view, this is a qualitative study, guided by an inductive approach. The procedures adopted were based on socio-legal critical and descriptive-diagnostic legal methods, combining bibliographic review with documentary analysis of data from official public security institutions. It is expected that the research findings will contribute to a broader understanding of the role of municipalities in the construction of preventive policies, highlighting the potential of situational prevention in reducing opportunities for crime and improving urban security management. Thus, the study aims to strengthen the debate on public security at the local level, spatial criminology, and prevention policies, offering theoretical and empirical foundations that can support institutional action and the development of more effective strategies in addressing urban violence.
