Análise orçamentária dos gastos públicos em segurança pública no estado de Alagoas no período de 2015 a 2022

Abstract

The general objective of this research is to investigate the behavior of budget spending on public safety in the State of Alagoas in the period from 2015 to 2022. To achieve this objective, a descriptive and quantitative research was adopted, proceeding to the survey of secondary data available from the National Treasury Secretariat - STN, which deals with the Finances of Brazil (FINBRA). The indicators were Expenditure per capita, Expenditure executed per capita, Share of Expenditure fixed with Security in the LOA and Share of Total Security Expenditure executed in the state budget. The results of the study showed that the per capita expenditure set for the Public Security function was higher than the executed per capita expenditure, showing that there were no budget savings, which signals the opening of additional credits. In relation to the Expenditure executed in the public safety function it is possible to observe that in the years 2016 to 2022, the executed expenditure was below the fixed expenditure. For the evolution of spending, no subfunction had sequential gradual increase or decrease throughout the series studied and that in fact as the years passed there was great variation alternating between increases and decreases in all sub-functions.
