Space for the state? police, violence, and urban poverty in Brazil
  • Space for the state? police, violence, and urban poverty in Brazil
  • This article explores the relationships between policing and space, querying perceived divisions between the state and society through an investigation of police work. By examining the tenuous position that police officers occupy (e.g., of state
  • actor one moment and nonstate actor the next), it unpacks the state–society contradictions embodied by police. It argues that state–society imaginaries are fraught with a host of epistemological tensions and that police work—and, in particular, moments
  • of conflict and police violence—shows clearly the problems and abuses engendered by binary state–society frameworks. Through a case study of a favela community (low-income urban settlement) in northeast Brazil, it illustrates how distance between the state
  • and civil society—and the discretion state actors hold over nonstate actors—relates to moments of police violence and ongoing abuse.
