“…38 In addition, formal policing arrangements and at least a nominal police presence had come to all areas of England and Wales by 1856 and to almost all parts of rural Scotland by the 1860s. 39 Second, the differential impact of changes in levels of social unrest and instability may also have influenced the convergence process. Roth's theory that homicide rates fall when levels of trust in government and its legal and judicial institutions rise and when satisfaction with current social and political arrangements grows 40 has a certain resonance here (Figures 1 and 2).…”

“…A trajetória histórica de vínculo aos valores e a forma de vida miliciana representam, para as polícias militares brasileiras, clara inflexão ao desenho de profissionalização que as polícias inglesas e americanas construíram. Se, naquela experiência, os valores militares se estabilizaram apenas com o objetivo de aumentar o controle e a capacidade de supervisão sobre os policiais de linha e suas atividades e produziram como corolário a consolidação de um ideal de serviço -a "luta contra o crime" -, com o qual a polícia demanda legitimidade social (Emsley, 1996;Jermier e Berkes, 1979;Walker, 1977, pp. 42-48), na experiência brasileira os valores militares antecedem, no caso das polícias militares, o próprio desenho policial da atividade.…”

“…Eles determinam, portanto, uma concepção do lugar da polícia como aquele de um ator em uma arena adversarial, onde a visão do outro como objeto da ação policial se define pela negatividade. Por isso, o "crime", como já colocado, pode se transformar, aos olhos da cultura policial brasileira, em uma categoria praticamente desvinculada das dinâmicas sociais e territoriais que o produzem, algo que não faz sentido nas experiências históricas citadas, porque, tanto para ingleses como para americanos, a ligação entre o policial e os valores e dinâmicas comunitárias permanece como um elemento substantivo do sentido social que sua profissão adquiriu (Bittner, 1967;Emsley, 1996;Goldstein, 1990;Kelling e Moore, 1988;Reiner, 1992;Skolnick, 1966;Wilson, 1973).…”

Este artigo defende a hipótese, a partir do estudo de caso da Polícia Militar de Minas Gerais (PMMG), de que as polícias militares brasileiras, em sua busca por legitimidade social e institucional, e na ausência de reconhecimento social sobre suas práticas e valores especificamente policiais, se concentraram, em duas grandes estratégias de legitimação: de um lado o investimento no conhecimento gerencial e na sua aplicação às dinâmicas organizacionais e à regulação formal da atividade policial-militar; de outro, o investimento em um processo de diferenciação social, marcado pelo isomorfismo de práticas socialmente consagradas, traduzidas ou adaptadas ao contexto institucional, frequentemente através de processos de ritualização do seu conteúdo. Ao analisar a trajetória institucional da PMMG nos últimos 40 anos, conclui-se que essas estratégias vêm legitimando e reforçando características estamentais no desenho da profissão policial militar no país.

“…However, few historians have commented upon the origins of those ideas and principles which guided police governance in the nineteenth century. The formerly orthodox view – that a distinct ‘metropolitan model’ of policing gradually diffused throughout the land – has long since fallen from favour . Nowadays, historians are attentive to the variety of police systems adopted in the provinces – to historical alternatives to the new police .…”

Local initiative, central oversight, provincial perspective: governing police forces in nineteenth-century Leeds

This article examines police administration as a branch of urban government, based on a casestudy of Leeds between 1815 and 1900. Making extensive use of local government and police records, it takes a longer-term view of 'reform' than most existing studies, and privileges the more routine aspects of everyday governance. It thus provides an original exploration of centrallocal government relations, as well as conflict and negotiation between distinct bodies of selfgovernment within the locality. Previous studies have rightly emphasised that urban police governance was primarily a local responsibility, yet this article also stresses the growing influence of central state oversight and an extra-local, provincial perspective, both of which modified the grip of localism on nineteenth-century government. University of LeedsThe governance of nineteenth-century police forces has long attracted scholarly attention.Many early accounts -habitually referred to as 'Whiggish' histories -tended to portray the provincial forces as ineffectual; lacking sufficient oversight from Whitehall, their potential was dashed under the more-or-less incompetent and corrupt leadership of unaccountable local magistrates and penny-pinching town councillors.2 By contrast, subsequent police historians have offered a more nuanced picture, by demonstrating that local authorities were often instrumental in pioneering new forms of police organisation;rather than opposed to police reform per se, it is now recognised that local governors were anxious primarily to retain control over local forces (and the local resources they consumed). Furthermore, the reputation of the provincial police has been somewhat rehabilitated by these sympathetic scholars; provincial forces were often adequate responses to local problems, rather than pale imitations of the centrally-directed
