MENDES DE MIRANDA, Ana Paula  e  MUNIZ, Jacqueline. A field of experiences, biased impacts and assumptions:. Runa [online]. 2021, vol.42, n.1, pp.21-41.  Epub 21-Abr-2021. ISSN 1851-9628.  http://dx.doi.org/10.34096/runa.v42i1.8708.

This paper presents reflections about researches on the field of public security, violences and activisms in Brazil, from experiences developed by the authors, considering the constitutive dilemmas of this thematic. It emphasizes the importance of empirical researches based on an anthropological construction and of the challenges of the interlocution with Law. Furthermore, the reflexive theoretic and methodological approach on State and public policies must also orient the analysis of activisms, to avoid homogenization and generalization of the juridical and political classifications which dominate the field. Based on this perspective, a case study is presented, demonstrating the importance of multidimensionality and situationality on studies about (in)security. It is a methodology developed for analysis on risk perceptions, constructed to identify social situations of violence which affected the regular work of measurement of electricity, on the cities of São Gonçalo and Duque de Caxias (Rio de Janeiro State), in order to prevent theft.

Palavras-chave : Empirical researches; Multidimensionality; Situationality; Public policies; Public security.
