Resumo: This article presents theoretical research about democratic policing, highlighting aspects of responsiveness and accountability in police work. It seeks to demonstrate that the difficulties of democratic policing in Brazil stems from obstacles created by the institutional, organizational and cultural configurations of the police system, in addition to the process of democratization. Based on the case study of the civil and military police of the capital’s region – Distrito Federal –, it discusses the difficulty to train democratic police in Brazil, due to the internal contradictions of its own constitutive units. It concludes with reflections about police reforms not only tostrengthen its effectiveness in crime control, but especially to integrate the police in a democratic context.

Procura demonstrar que as dificuldades de um policiamento democrático no Brasildecorrem de enclaves nos arranjos institucional, organizacional e cultural do sistema policial, bem como do processo de  democratização. A partir do estudo das polícias civil e militar do Distrito Federal, discute a dificuldade de se formar polícias democráticas no Brasil em virtude de contradições internas às próprias organizações policiais. Ao fim, cogita a necessidade de reformas das polícias não só para reforçar a eficácia delasno controle da criminalidade, mas, sobretudo para inseri-las num contexto democrático.Editora da Pucrs - ediPUCRS2013-08-08info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://revistaseletronicas.pucrs.br/index.php/civitas/article/view/1465210.15448/1984-7289.2013.1.14652Civitas: journal of Social Sciences; Vol. 13 No. 1 (2013): Violence and society; 56-76Civitas: revista de Ciências Sociais; Vol. 13 Núm. 1 (2013): Violência e sociedade; 56-76Civitas: revista de Ciências Sociais; v. 13 n. 1 (2013): Violência e sociedade; 56-761984-72891519-608910.15448/1984-7289.2013.1reponame:Civitas - Revista de Ciências Sociais (Porto Alegre.
