The present dissertation, developed within the field of Criminology and Social Control, aims at examining the extent to which the discourses of fear and insecurity mould the reactive and repressing policies adopted to respond to the problem of crime. Contemporary crime control theories are identified and analyzed, particularly Left Realism and its emphasis on the adoption of prevention policies, so as to evaluate the impact, limits and possibilities of this movement on public security policies in Brazil during President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva’s tenures from 2002 on. Following the analysis of the contemporary political-criminal and socioeconomic scenario, the research reflects upon the problem of public security and the fear of crime incorporated by society, in order to examine the responses to crime and the crime policy movements underlying such responses. Next, contemporary crime policy movements are identified and their proposals and most significant aspects are analyzed. Among the crime policy movements stands Left Realism, which supports the articulation of preventive policies as possible alternatives to punitivism. Thus, after the analysis of the public security programs adopted in Brazil, the study investigates the influence of Left Realism on the current public security policy in Brazil, its limits and possibilities of preventing crime.
