Guerra às drogas ou necropolítica? Uma análise crítica

Abstract

Article 6 of the aforementioned law spells out the objectives of the security policy, with emphasis on sections I and II, which emphasize the maintenance of public order and security, as well as the protection of life, physical integrity, and property. These provisions are used to justify the repression of drug-related crimes, especially those associated with the behavior of individuals experiencing cravings, when abstinence leads them to commit crimes such as theft, robbery, or involvement in drug trafficking. Also in Article 6, sections X and XVII reinforce this connection by providing for the integration of information among security agencies and the promotion of actions against organized crime, including a focus on prisons, from where many leaders continue to direct criminal activities. Section XV, in turn, recognizes the need to "rationalize and humanize" the prison system, signaling a crisis in the current model, marked by overcrowding and a lack of conditions for resocialization.
