Abstract

This document intends to understand and analyze the Project Dois caminhos, uma escolha (Two Paths Project, a choice), as an initiative of prevention to violence against young, that are being developed in Porto Alegre city, from the understanding about the perceptions and impacts that it produces in their recipients, in order to verify not only the meanings that the Project has, but its prospects as a Social Policy aimed to public safety in the city. On this meaning, a case study was performed in two schools where was sought from the interaction with the Núcleo de Ações Preventivas da Guarda Municipal (Preventive Actions Group of Municipal Guard) , Students and Teachers, reveal the dynamics of violence (re) produced in these community environments while immersed in a modern liquid social context, influenced by all the transformations derived from our contemporaneity. The basis in the epistemological Paradigm of Complexity made possible the understanding of the motivations for the methodology adopted by the Project and the dynamics of violence waged in social environments studied, revealing the ambivalences of that, a higher purpose of intimidations to violent behavior that can be practiced by young people than preventive pretensions of hostilities that they be victims before structure violence produced by the society itself immersed in a political, economic, social and cultural exclusionary model. In this way, the study brings the methodological and preventives antagonisms of a Project against the violence against young, that finds in the Municipal Guard, through the perspective of the new paradigm of the National Policy of Public Safety with enphasis on comunity policing, the possibility of being one among between many other necessary paths to be followed to prevent the violence that has victimized so many youths in our country
