A Polícia

The escalation of violence in Greater São Paulo, the world’s third-largest metropolis, has been aggravated over the years both by problems of scale in this huge community and by perverse incentives in the operation of institutions of public security. Institutional problems of containing violence embrace critical issues of economics, public health and human rights.
