Using a mixed-methods approach, including surveys, semi-structured interviews and observations of town hall meetings, and following the participatory action research framework, this study examines the interactions between the LGBTQ community and law enforcement, and the perceptions of police within the LGBTQ community. The current study demonstrates how members of the LGBTQ community continue to have negative experiences with police that adversely impact their perceptions of law enforcement. Moreover, the findings underline the importance of examining how multiple identities impact an individual’s experiences with and their perceptions of law enforcement. Expanding past research on this topic, this study offers an analysis based upon suggestions of the study’s participants of what steps must be taken in order to improve relations between these two groups.

In this article, we analyse the perceptions of dwellers of ten recently pacified favelas, seeking to unveil the meanings they lend to the community policing category. Data gathered with four focus groups, carried out in 2015, showed that UPP is a program welcomed and rejected by those living in favelas, as pacifying methods oscillate between proximity and brutality, contradicting the concept of community policing.
