Making the slum communities part of the cities

Resumo

José Mariano Beltrame, Rio de Janeiro State Secretary of Public Security, explains to Kalinka Iaquinto why reducing crime is directly linked to making structural changes in slum communities, especially those related to health and education, and how Pacifying Police Units have brought opportunities to carry out major reconstructive surgery. But many public security problems, he adds, could be solved by addressing deep-rooted social problems.
