Se eles me pegam me enchem de soco, não vou relatar esse fato de novo: um estudo sobre o alcance de efetividade das audiências de custódia na prevenção à práticas de tortura institucional na cidade de Salvador

Abstract

The purpose of this scientific article is to find out whether the holding of custody hearings in Brazil has effectively curbed the institutional torture perpetrated by state agents during police operations; to point out the existence of the practice of police violence, demonstrating who is the specific target of this violence, presenting, for this purpose, official statistical data; analyze the rates of state violence in Salvador in three years of holding custody hearings based on data from the survey carried out by the Public Defender's Office of Bahia in 2019; and to show that, in addition to the declared control of the holding of custody hearings, there is an undeclared control, which would be the external control of police activity.
