O Plano Nacional de Segurança Pública e Defesa Social 2021- 2030: a sua evolução e implementação na Paraíba à luz do Paraíba Unida pela Paz

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the evolution of the Group 1 targets (reduction of violent deaths) of the National Public Security and Social Defense Plan (PNSPDS) 2021– 2030 in relation to data from the state of Paraíba, based on the “Paraíba Unida pela Paz” Program. The research is characterized as a documentary, descriptive, and quantitative study, using open data sources such as the Paraíba Public Security and Defense Yearbook, the Brazilian Public Security Yearbook, the Public Security Map, and the current legislation of the national public security policy. The results indicate significant progress in reducing homicides and robberies followed by death, although challenges remain regarding the transparency and standardization of indicators. It is concluded that Paraíba’s performance is aligned with national guidelines, as the “Paraíba Unida pela Paz” Program—launched prior to the PNSPDS—was designed to reduce lethal violence and contributes directly to achieving the national Group 1 targets of the Plan. Despite facing structural obstacles to consolidating and maintaining this local policy, the state advances gradually toward the objectives set for 2030 under the PNSPDS framework.
