| Summary: | This chapter examines the ways in which members of the Antifascism Police Movement recognize the notion of working police as a political and utopian struggle in the context of public security policies in Brazil. Considering policing as a profession and the police officer as a worker becomes a political claim and a futuristic sociological construction. Based on ethnographic interviews, document, and media analysis, this chapter argues that the affirmation of the working conditions by police officers positions them in a reformist approach that challenges the authoritarian and militaristic hegemonic approaches inside security forces in Brazil. |
