Resumo: This article examines the main impasses to the integration of women into one of Portugal’s main police institutions, the Public Security Police (PSP),using a socio-historical reading. Research data shows that although allied to the pluralization of the institutional image, presented in rebranding campaigns to indicate the police force’s feminization, investment in female recruitment was a prophecy that was not completely realized by police institutions and democratic governments. While at first police women were associated with specific and support tasks, they were later seen as dispensable in policing domestic violence. I argue that the sexist orientation of the institution and the state, which combined the idea of modernity of the force with female recruitment, indirectly held women responsible for an inconclusive policy.

Los datos de las investigaciones muestran que, si bien aliada a una imagen plural de la institución policial, con campañas de rebranding por la feminización de la fuerza, la inversión en el reclutamiento femenino fue una profecía que no fue cumplida en su totalidad por la institución y los gobiernos democráticos. Si al principio se asocia a las mujeres policías con tareas específicas y de apoyo, luego se las considera prescindibles en la vigilancia de la violencia doméstica. Sostengo que la orientación feminizante de la institución y del Estado, conjugando la modernidad de la fuerza con el reclutamiento femenino, en este caso tuvo el efecto indirecto de responsabilizar a las propias mujeres de una política inconclusa.O texto procura demonstrar os impasses da integração de mulheres em uma das principais instituições policiais portuguesas, a Polícia de Segurança Pública (PSP), propondo uma leitura socio-histórica desse processo. Dados de pesquisas mostram que ainda que aliada a uma imagem plural da instituição policial, com campanhas de rebranding pela feminização da força, o investimento no recrutamento feminino foi uma profecia não inteiramente realizada pela instituição e governos democráticos. Se num primeiro momento, as mulheres policiais são associadas a tarefas específicas e de apoio, mais tarde são vistas como dispensáveis no policiamento da violência doméstica. Argumento que a orientação feminizante da instituição e do Estado, aliando a modernidade da força ao recrutamento feminino, teve neste caso o efeito indireto de responsabilizar as próprias mulheres por uma política inconclusiva.Universidade Estadual de Campinas2021-09-15info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionTextoTextoinfo:eu-repo/semantics/otherapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.sbu.unicamp.br/ojs/index.php/cadpagu/article/view/8666970Cadernos Pagu; n. 61 (2021); e216114Cadernos Pagu; No. 61 (2021); e216114Cadernos Pagu; Núm. 61 (2021); e2161141809-4449reponame:Cadernos Pagu (Online)instname:Universidade Estadual de Campinas (UNICAMP)instacron:UNICAMPporhttps://periodicos.sbu.unicamp.br/ojs/index.php/cadpagu/article/view/8666970/27280Portugal; Century XXPortugal; Siglo XXPortugal; Século XXCopyright (c) 2021 Susana Durãohttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessDurão, Susana 2022-03-25T18:05:35Zoai:ojs.periodicos.sbu.unicamp.br:article/8666970Revistahttps://periodicos.sbu.unicamp.br/ojs/index.php/cadpagu/indexPUBhttps://periodicos.sbu.unicamp.br/ojs/index.php/cadpagu/oaicadpagu@unicamp.br||cadpagu@unicamp.br0104-83331809-4449opendoar:2022-11-08T14:25:07.500695Cadernos Pagu (Online) - Universidade Estadual de Campinas (UNICAMP)false
