Identidade de gênero e políticas de segurança pública: um estudo sobre as políticas públicas voltadas para o encarceramento de transexuais, travestis e transgêneros na Paraíba.

Abstract

In the global context, and especially in Brazil, it is possible to identify a plural, diverse society that has been seeking improvements, especially for minority groups that historically lived in marginalized and stigmatized areas, such as the LGBTQIAPN+ population. In this scenario, the present work aims to analyze public policies aimed at the incarceration of transsexuals, transvestites and transgender people in the State of Paraíba. To carry out this study, documentary research was carried out in the Brazilian legal system, notably in Laws, Decrees and Jurisprudence, both of national scope as well as local scope, which demonstrate the current rules and current pacified understandings on the topic. In addition, a bibliographical research was carried out, analysis of management reports and public documents produced by Public Administration bodies. The data obtained revealed that in the current Brazilian context, the regulations that address the public security system specifically aimed at the trans population are limited and outdated. This factor encourages states to treat demands in a local and discretionary manner. In the State of Paraíba, standardization is also outdated and insufficient as the actions implemented occur in an isolated manner and restricted to a few prison units, therefore requiring significant advances to ensure the realization of rights for this social group.
