Alguns aspectos analíticos nas pesquisas da violência na América Latina¹

abstract

Based on extensive bibliography, the article examines what it identifies as some of the main analytical problems in the research on violence in Latin America. The disjunction between State and society, the impossible conciliation between democracy and violence, and the challenges of empirical research in this subject area are treated as an introduction to a project that the author is developing on the same theme.
