Resumo: | This research deals with one of the most problematic themes in the Brazilian public security agenda, firearm control. Since the publication of the Statute of the Disarmament in 2003, the Federal Police (FP) has been responsible for controlling firearm possession of the civilian population. Thus, FP officers become central players in firearm control policies in Brazil. In this research, we investigate the attitude of Brazilian FP officers towards firearms and what explains this attitude. We collected data from 800 police officers from different positions working in all regions of the country. The results show that police officers believe that firearm possession is an individual right, but firearms do not protect against crime. The results also show that the officers’ attitude towards firearms is influenced by their position and their experience with firearms. The article presents the study’s implications for management theory and practice. |

Desde la publicación del Estatuto de Desarme, en 2003, la Policía Federal (PF) se ha encargado de controlar la tenencia y porte de armas de fuego por parte de la población civil. Así, los oficiales de la PF se convierten en actores centrales de las políticas de control de armas de fuego en Brasil. Investigamos la actitud de los oficiales de la PF brasileña hacia las armas de fuego y qué explica esta actitud. Recopilamos datos de 800 policías de diferentes cargos y que operan en todas las regiones del país. Los resultados muestran que los agentes de policía creen que la tenencia de armas de fuego es un derecho individual, pero que las armas no protegen contra el crimen. Los resultados también muestran que la actitud de los policías hacia las armas de fuego está influenciada por el cargo que ocupa y por la experiencia del policía con las armas de fuego. Al final, se presentan las implicaciones del estudio para la teoría y la práctica de la gestión.Esta pesquisa trata de um dos temas mais problemáticos da agenda da segurança pública brasileira, o controle de armas de fogo.
