          Abstract

          Resumo A partir das evidências disponíveis que sustentam a importância da confiança da população nas polícias, salientando o quanto o fenômeno é decisivo para a eficiência do trabalho de policiamento e para a própria adesão da cidadania aos ditames legais, o texto analisa os resultados colhidos em pesquisa de vitimização realizada em Porto Alegre, em 2017, na parte que tratou da percepção dos residentes sobre o trabalho da Polícia Militar e da Polícia Civil. A análise dos dados evidencia baixas taxas de confiança para ambas as polícias estaduais - Indicador de Confiança Policial de 49,2% para a Brigada Militar e de 53,7% para a Polícia Civil. A menor confiança nas polícias concentra-se entre as populações mais jovens e mais pobres. No caso da Polícia Militar, encontrou-se diferença estatisticamente significativa também para menor confiança entre a população negra, o que sugere padrões de atuação distintos em uma mesma cidade, a depender dos grupos sociais abordados ou atendidos pelas corporações. Ao final, apresentamos diretrizes que podem auxiliar no processo de definição de políticas específicas capazes de aumentar a confiança do público nas instituições policiais.

          Abstract Based on available evidence that points to the importance of the population’s trust in police forces, emphasizing the decisive role of such trust for the efficiency of policing work and for the very adherence of citizens to the law, the paper analyzes the results of a victimization survey conducted in Porto Alegre in 2017, drawing particularly on results regarding the residents' perception of the work of the Military Police and the Civil Police. Data analysis shows low trust rates for both state polices, with the Police Trust Indicator reaching 49,2% for the Military Police and 53,7% for the Civil Police. The lowest rates of trust in the police are concentrated among younger and poorer populations. In the case of the Military Police, a statistically significant difference was also found for lower trust among the Afro-descendant population, which suggests different patterns of performance in the same city, depending on the social groups addressed or served by the corporations. Finally, we propose some guidelines that can help in the process of defining specific policies capable of increasing public confidence in police institutions.
