Abstract
Public policies that indicate ways of addressing the various types of violence resulting from the increasing vulnerabilities that city dwellers face is a theme that is perceived as essential in the contemporary academic debate. For this, theoretical foundations that point to epistemological, methodological, and criminological contributions to achieve this goal must be presented, debated, and updated. This article aims to deepen the discussion on the implementation of effective, reliable, and efficient public policies that constitute a constrain to increasing violence, mainly the criminal violence. This is why it’s essential to revisit the Robert Ezra Park’s work and, consequently, what was produced by the Chicago School of Sociology in the scope of human ecology. Such work presents at least 100 years of contribution to scientific production and, the analytical fundamentals in various areas of the human sciences. The inductive method was applied to build the argument, with a descriptive procedure, based on the exclusively bibliographic research technique.
