  2. Violence and Policing in Brazil. Violence in Brazil, as well as police violence and police attempts to control violence in Brazil, has been well documented: Teresa Caldeira, "The Paradox of Police Violence in Democratic Brazil," Ethnography 3, 3 (2002): 235-263; Martha K. Huggins, "Urban Violence and Police Privatization in Brazil: Blended Invisibility," Social Justice 27, 2 (2000): 113-134; Nancy Scheper-Hughs, Death Without Weeping: The Violence of Everyday Life in Brazil (Berkeley: University of California Press, 1992). Moreover, an interesting new work examines police stations run exclusively by police women for women with the authority to investigate crimes against women such as rape, assault, and domestic violence: Cecilia MacDowell Santos, Women's Police Stations: Gender, Violence, and Justice in Sao Paulo, Brazil (New York: Paigrave Macmillan, 2005).
