The study is based on the assumption that the formal existence of public policies does not, in itself, ensure their effectiveness as social rights, considering policy implementation as a political, institutional, and bureaucratic process shaped by rationalities, disputes, and power relations. The research adopts a qualitative, analytical, and critical approach, grounded in bibliographic review and documentary analysis of normative frameworks, programs, and institutional arrangements related to public security policy and mental health. The theoretical framework articulates contributions from the literature on public policy implementation, bureaucracy, and neoliberalism, drawing on authors such as Max Weber, Dardot and Laval, David Harvey, Amartya Sen, Erving Goffman, Christophe Dejours, and Richard Sennett, among others. The findings indicate that the implementation of the Pró-Vida Program occurs in a selective, fragmented, and episodic manner, conditioned by bureaucratic constraints, weak interinstitutional coordination, the absence of robust mechanisms for participation and social control, and subordination to the neoliberal logic of managing distress. The analysis shows that the policy tends to operate more as an instrument for administering the effects of psychological suffering than as a structural strategy to guarantee the right to mental health, producing a gap between legal norms and the concrete experience of military police officers. It is concluded that the limitations of the Pró-Vida Program stem less from its normative formulation and more from the institutional conditions of its implementation, reinforcing the need to strengthen workers’ participation, administrative accountability, and the reorientation of mental health policies in the field of public security as a collective responsibility of the State.

The research adopts a historical-dialectical materialist approach to examine the social construction of adolescence in Brazil, tracing its evolution from punitive legislation, such as the 1830 Penal Code, to the doctrine of full protection consolidated by the Statute of the Child and Adolescent (ECA) in 1990. The study argues that, despite legal advancements, a logic persists that criminalizes poverty and marginalized youth, treating social inequality as a matter of public security. It analyzes how the State’s failure to guarantee basic rights creates power vacuums, which are occupied by criminal organizations that offer a sense of belonging and identity to vulnerable youth. The research investigates the emergence and consolidation of factions in Maranhão, the recruitment dynamics both inside and outside the socio-educational system, and the impacts of this reality on the implementation of the measures. Finally, it examines the institutional strategies of the Fundação da Criança e do Adolescente (FUNAC) to mitigate the influence of these groups, highlighting structural challenges such as overcrowding and policy discontinuity, as well as the need for intersectoral actions to ensure effective social reintegration and break the cycle of violence.

In the field of education, these communities have been demanding public policies that respect their ancestry, culture, and self-determination. This study focused on the central research question: to what extent does the quilombola educational public policy in Itapecuru-Mirim meet the demands of quilombola leaders? Its general objective was to analyze the quilombola educational public policy in the communities of Itapecuru-Mirim/MA based on the demands of these leaders. The specific objectives were: to discuss the historical trajectory, contexts, and achievements of the struggle of quilombola communities for specific school education in Brazil; to understand which demands guide the struggle for quilombola school education in the communities of Itapecuru-Mirim/MA; and to investigate the scenario of quilombola educational public policy in Itapecuru-Mirim in light of those demands. The study is justified by the urgency of listening to quilombola voices in the formulation of educational policies, recognizing them as political subjects who produce their own knowledge and resist the coloniality of power and knowledge. The theoretical-methodological framework articulates Marxist historical-dialectical materialism with the decolonial approach, to understand capitalism, coloniality, and racism as oppressive systems over quilombola ways of life, and to highlight the struggle for education as a political act of resistance. This is a qualitative research, complemented by quantitative data. The study used bibliographic research, documentary analysis, and fieldwork, the latter through semi-structured interviews with quilombola leaders, quilombola teachers, and a staff member from the Maranhão State Department of Education (SEDUC/MA). The findings show that the three main demands made by quilombola leaders in Itapecuru-Mirim are: the valorization of the transmission of elders' knowledge through oral tradition and the inclusion of community cultural practices in the school program and calendar; the teaching of Afro-Brazilian History and Culture; and the prioritization of quilombola teachers from the communities themselves. Despite legal advances achieved through the struggle of quilombola communities, educational policies have not sufficiently addressed these demands. As such, the quilombolas of Itapecuru-Mirim continue to fight for an education rooted in their ancestry, territory, and collective identity.

Guided by the historical and dialectical materialist method, the study seeks to understand family farming through theoretical debates as well as its current configuration in both the Brazilian and Maranhão contexts. By tracing the history of the school feeding policy, it is demonstrated that the inclusion of family farming results from the recognition of this social segment’s importance, shaped by political mobilizations since the 1990s. Based on the analysis of official documents and field research, the study shows that access to the institutional market under investigation is largely restricted to consolidated formal groups with logistical capacity and transportation. Consequently, the policy fails to encompass the diversity of family farming and requires complementary mechanisms, like agreements among family farmers, in order to achieve less exclusionary outcomes.
