SUMMARY:

This dissertation addresses gun control in Brazil, based on established rules and authorities vested with power, such as the Army and the Federal Police. The two institutions have a culture of secrecy in common, which compromises transparency and accountability to society. From the perspective of critical criminology, we explore loopholes in oversight, which lead to state capture and, ultimately, corruption. We evaluate actors involved in decision-making processes, both in the public and private sectors. We highlight the political influence on these military and police agencies, which, historically, regulate important aspects of social life, especially in authoritarian periods of Brazilian history. The research identified weaknesses in the weapons inspection of the two corporations, most strikingly in the case of the military, but no less important among federal police officers, given the ease of capture by members of the central government itself and corporate lobbyists.
