Abstract

The Public Security Policy of the Unidade de Polícia Pacificadora (UPP) provides from 2008 to 2013 a wide reduction in violent and patrimonial crimes in the territories that the policy operated. However, in other regions of Rio de Janeiro State not contemplated by the Program there has been an increase in the crimes rates and in the intensity of these hot spots, signaling the existence of a (re)territorial spatialisation of crime. This new configuration is characterized by the lower criminal incidence in areas near Olympic equipment and growth in the in Grande Niterói and Baixada Fluminense, that is to say, the cost of crime began to be accentuated in cities that have worse socio-economic indicators. However, from 2013 to 2017, the "pacified" territories began to increase their criminal indicators, a fact that appears to describe the beginning of a process of discontinuation of the Program to provide security. Combined with this, the other non UPP regions also had an increase in the number of patrimonial and violent crimes in this period. Existing in 2015 and 2017 a new spatial conformation of urban violence. This, characterized by the intensification of criminal charges and hot spots throughout the state, resulting in an increase in the cost of crime
