O estatuto do desarmamento e a sua (re)discussão

Abstract

This study aimed to analyze if the most restrictive policies regarding civilian weapons have the desired effect in reducing crime rates, especially homicides caused by firearms, or if they have increased, particularly in the Disarmament Statute period (law 10.826 / 03); the more restrictive legislation to firearms that already existed in Brazil. To this end, the dialectical method will be used thus confronting the two positions that the topic generates.The procedure methods used in the research will be the monographic and statistical. The first in order to examine the two positions that are defended by the doctrinal and social study of the situation installed today and what their causes. But the statistical will be used in order to quantify the violent crimes, mainly homicides caused by firearms and conclude what was the development that were based on a now more restrictive policy than before. The work was divided into two chapters, while the first is a historical contextualization of the Government's treatment policies with the possession of weapons by the population, since the discovery of Brazil until today. In the second chapter, it does a careful analysis of the results that the Disarmament Statute has produced throughout its duration, as well as the arguments used in their defense and in order to revoke it. Also analyze other arguments that impact the social psychological as the suicide rate and accidents of children with firearms besides results produced in other countries like the United States, England and Uruguay. In conclusion disarm the civil citizen is not an effective policy of public safety.
