How a Sync is born - Study on the emergence of the First Capital Command (PCC) in Brasília

The object of study is the performance of the cell in the Federal District of the criminal group Primeiro Comando da Capital (PCC) in 2014, the year of its emergence, from the perspective of the members themselves, based on the research problem on how the PCC attracts new members and what they think about the faction. I intend to delve deeper into the analysis of social representations about the PCC shared by its members and, at the same time, move the discussion about what the PCC is from its central place – state of São Paulo – to the Federal District, helping in the search for an answer to the field question “what is the PCC?”. The contribution of my research will therefore be made by the insertion of two new perspectives: the place (Federal District) and the subjects who interpret the PCC (the members of the faction themselves).
