Abstract

This article analyzes the contribution of the Crime Hotline (Disque-Denúncia) as a strategic tool for public security and economic development in the state of Alagoas. The spatial distribution of reports highlights a concentration in Maceió, which accounts for 66% of the total, while smaller municipalities such as Arapiraca and Rio Largo also registered significant numbers, reinforcing the role of the Crime Hotline in addressing various regional realities. The relationship between public security and economic development was examined, with a particular focus on the tourism sector. The reduction in crime rates, associated with the use of the Crime Hotline, contributes to establishing Alagoas as a safe and attractive tourist destination, fostering job creation and economic growth. The study concludes that the Crime Hotline is an essential tool for promoting public security, preventing crime, and strengthening social cohesion. However, it emphasizes the need for integration with other public policies and continuous investments to enhance its effectiveness and positive impact in the state of Alagoas.
