Abstract

The implementation of Law No. 11.049/2017, which regulates the "Paraíba United for Peace" program, represented a crucial milestone in the pursuit of solutions in the field of public security in the state of Paraíba. Since its inception in 2011, the program has played a fundamental role in promoting tranquility and reducing violence in the region. This study is a basic research, of a bibliographical nature and aimed to answer the following question: "What is the importance of law nº 11,049/2017 in investments in public security in the period from 2011 to 2022 in the state of Paraíba and its influence on the effectiveness of its police forces?”, as well as its influence on the effectiveness of law enforcement agencies. A literature review revealed that public security is a multifaceted challenge influenced by various factors such as current legislation, financial contributions, policing strategies, community engagement, and law enforcement training. Law No. 11.049/2017, which provided an organizational framework and specific guidelines for public security in Paraíba, demonstrates the commitment of state authorities to tackling crime and improving the sense of security. Investments in public security during the analyzed period showed an increasing trend, indicating recognition of the importance of this sector. However, it is imperative to ensure the efficient allocation of these resources and the adoption of evidence-based strategies to optimize their impact on crime mitigation. The "Paraíba United for Peace" program introduced structural innovations that deserve attention, requiring an analysis of law enforcement agencies' adaptation to implemented changes and contemporary challenges in public security in the state of Paraíba. In this context, active community participation, continuous enhancement of law enforcement capabilities, and close collaboration among different security agencies emerge as essential pillars for the success of initiatives aimed at public security. However, it is recognized that challenges persist and public security is a constantly evolving field, requiring continuous adaptation of policies and strategies. In summary, it is expected that this work will contribute to the improvement of public security policies in Paraíba, providing fundamental insights into the effectiveness of the "Paraíba United for Peace" program and suggesting guidelines for its continuous improvement.
