A new chapter

ABSTRACT The institutional violence that plagues Brazil makes sense, albeit in a perverse way. Macro- and micro-political circumstances create the environment and incentive structures that make institutional violence not only possible but likely. At the macro-political level, the roots of institutional violence in Brazil lie in a structural deficiency of its democratic order: inequity, remnants of authoritarianism and a vicious circle of impunity persist in the face of weaknesses in the democratic state order. At the micro-political level, public perception of criminal impunity as well as institutional and social arrangements reinforcing symbolic rewards for violent behaviour among state agents conform incentive structures that give institutional violence a significant presence in the social landscape.
