Uso de sistema de informação geográfica para monitoramento da violência e criminalidade na área do primeiro batalhão de polícia militar de Alagoas

Abstract

The absence of research and work related to violence and crime, as well as more systematic training in the analysis of public policies in the criminal area, has proved to be a major obstacle to the development of more consistent programs and policies for the control and eradication of crime. Mapping crime emerges as a very important tool in helping to combat violence, that is, it is the technology of the Geographic Information System (GIS) serving as a basis for viewing problem areas, spatial and network analysis, control and prevention of increase in urban crime. In this context, this work aims to show the importance of using this type of computerized technology as a means of reducing and preventing the growth of violence in the state of Alagoas, with emphasis on the area of the 1st Military Police Battalion. The inclusion of geotechnologies in the daily lives of Public Security Bodies, with regard to the provision of services to protect citizens and combat violence, will be a requirement in the future to achieve a high level of quality and performance in the role of ostensive policing. We can see this adequacy and use of this tool as a perspective of change in the way of thinking and acting of the authorities of the public power, which will be obliged to adapt to the new trends of modernization of public services and the strong demands of every society that cries out each time more for security and agility in handling criminal cases.
