Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Abstract: Since the mid-1980’s, Brazil, like many other countries in Latin America, has experienced a significant rise in crime rates. This increase in crime coincides with a process of re-democratization, leading some to question whether the two may be linked. This article proposes to examine the possible relationship between civil democracy and victimization in the Brazilian cities of Belo Horizonte and Curitiba. I combine the argument that violence and insecurity in Brazil are consequences of the lack of civil democracy and democratic rule of law (Caldeira and Holston, 1998; O’Donnell, 1993, 1999) with insights from systemic social control theorists (Bursik and Grasmick, 1993), who argue that criminogenic areas are a consequence of social disorganization due to a lack of social control on private, parochial and public levels. In this paper I test the idea that an extended systemic social control model including more general measures of perceptions of the rule of law is needed to fully capture the impact of public level social controls in a context of limited civil democracy such as Brazil. Using victimization data from both cities, the paper will examine the effects of private, parochial and public level social controls on the risk of criminal victimization.
