Public security is also made through the stories that circulate about it: who appears as the protagonist, who gets heard, and who is recognized as an authority. In this research, we analyzed a sample of news coverage to understand how female and male characters appear in these narratives and what that reveals about the imaginaries we build around public security. Here are four findings from this analysis. Available in Portuguese only.
We encourage the use of these materials by other people, projects, and initiatives. This is a collective project of imagination and political transformation. Please remember to credit Instituto Update as the source. All resources are made available under the Creative Commons CC BY-SA 4.0 license.
