Abstract: In Brazil, the last decades have been characterized by a sharp increase in the crime rate, mainly due to the high number of homicides, accompanied by the growth of the prison population, the strengthening of criminal factions that act in correctional institutions and the inefficiency of the state machine in the fight against crime. In this article, we will address each of these issues, as well as highlighting the current improvement in violence rates and the fight against organized crime through the joint action of the state and federal governments of Brazil.
