Comportamento e prática policial: uma revisão da literatura argentina 2009-2019

The media dramatization of excesses in police behavior does not allow us to glimpse the content and context of the agent-citizen relationship. Police performance and its motives are investigated. The objective is to report problems, methods and results of publications of articles in scientific journals by Argentine authors in the period 2009-2019 whose scope is behavior and police work. The research is a literature review with a descriptive nature and a qualitative approach. The theme of public security contemplates an object of study that allows understanding the interaction between figures of order and citizens. It concludes by verifying the relationship between the training of agents and their daily behavior. Police violence is considered by them an answer of symbolic violence that society imposes on them.
