A presença de múltiplas organizações criminosas na cidade de Mossoró

gênese do caos criminal

Abstract

Mossoró (RN) has repeatedly appeared in the ranking of the most violent cities in Brazil, a conclusion supported by the number of homicides that occur annually in the city. This violence is inseparable from the presence of multiple criminal factions in the Western Potiguar region, as evidenced by the present research. The Primeiro Comando da Capital (PCC) and the Sindicato do Crime do RN (SDC RN) are examples of criminal factions that operate within defined physical spaces, making these areas their territory. Therefore, the criminal phenomenon in Mossoró can be understood by comprehending the activities of criminal organizations in neighborhoods and communities. The overall scope of this study is to identify which criminal organizations operate and where they operate in the city of Mossoró. To achieve this, an exploratory and descriptive research was conducted with a qualitative approach, based on the collection of statistical data on homicides and other information from police investigations and criminal actions that exposed the intricacies of these criminal factions' activities. The research findings revealed that seven criminal factions operate in the city, distributed across neighborhoods and communities, some allied and others staunch enemies, and this conflict results in several deaths.
