This thesis aimed to investigate the persistence of the use of deadly force in the action of the Military Police of the State of São Paulo, despite the reduction of homicides verified between the years 2000 and 2016. The issue that determined the achievement of the research lies on the identification of the mechanisms and strategies that sustain lethal practice inside the organization. In methodological terms, strategies used for the research allied quantitative and qualitative research techniques and involved the analysis of occurrence reports and official documents related to the occurrences of death resulting from police intervention / resistance followed by death, interviews with 16 military police officers sentenced for homicide who were serving time at the Romão Gomes Military Prison, and a observational research of public profiles of military police officers on the social network Facebook. The research allowed the identification of four empirical categories that would be directed associated to the shaping of a professional ethos based on the model of violent confrontation of the criminals and that would influence the homicidal disposition. These categories converge to the development of a doctrine of the use of lethal force, the instrumentalisation of a subculture among the police universe which comprises the practice of murder as an efficient form of crime control. It is not, therefore, an action ideologically mobilized on a day-to-day basis, but a functional strategy within a frame in which there is a genuine belief that the police's mission is to hunt bandits. Therefore, the homicidal disposition does not appears as a deviation or crime, but as a central element of the police activity itself, which is daily fed back by the corporation and its members through strategies that involve the production of statistics, standardized discourses about the victims of their actions and in the interaction with society through social media.
