SUMMARY:

Brazil is the country that kills the most civilians in the world due to police activity in the name of “public safety,” having recorded a total of 6,393 lives lost in 2023, most of whom were black people (black and brown), young people, and people from the outskirts. Under the pretext of “fighting crime” and eliminating criminals, they undertake true warlike actions that determine which lives will be taken by the State. In the State of Goiás, it is no different. Even though the current governor avoids publicizing data on deaths resulting from police intervention when it comes to black bodies, Goiás is the 4th state that kills the most civilians in the country. In this dynamic in which death is daily and recurrent, a process of social naturalization of these brutal practices can be observed, with the justification of fighting the enemy. Thus, in order to analyze the victims of police lethality, this research sets out to understand this social phenomenon based on the guidance given by necropolitics. Coined by Achille Mbembe, necropythics tends to understand the manifestations of power in the present day, based on the various forms of domination given in colonialism as an expression of the death policy implemented by the State. To this end, necropolitics finds ground in the urgency of the state of exception that aims to combat crime and criminals by suspending rights for certain territories, and, with this, the manifestations of the sovereign's power over life are verified. Having done this, the following research problem is presented: to what extent do the deaths resulting from police intervention, practiced by the Military Police of Goiás between 2018 and 2023, demonstrate an action guided by necropolitics? Indeed, based on the production of quantitative data and qualitative research, the expressions of the death policy were related to the actual deaths resulting from police intervention that occurred in Goiás. This analysis was carried out based on the phenomenological-hermeneutic method, to understand the actions through their language and discourses. In this way, the data obtained will be put into dialogue with the theoretical framework of analysis, with the aim of understanding the dynamics and operationalization of public security in Goiás. The main results of this research are found in the presentation of data on deaths resulting from police intervention in Goiás and demonstrate in numbers the high police lethality, as well as in the reflection of how these cases were operated, as well as in the demonstration that public security in Goiás is guided by necropolitics. In this necropolitical management, the worthless life (black) will be eliminated or placed in a condition of injury, in which cases there will be death for life.
