Abstract:
Brazil is one of the most unequal democracies in the world. Although the number of homeless individuals in our country has increased due to the reproduction of people living in extreme poverty, little has been discussed about their welfare and rights. In the present study, we provide analysis with a theoretical-methodological approach directed at homeless people living in the wealthy neoliberal middle-sized southeast city of São Paulo, Brazil\'s richest state. Data was acquired from police reports with prior permission from the Civil Police of São Paulo and the São Paulo Interior Judiciary Police Department. Our results illustrate that the homelessness phenomenon in Franca appears to be comparable to that of other large urban cities, where Blacks, a minority of the population, make up the bulk of homeless individuals. It also denies that homeless activity increases criminality, emphasizes the difference between Blacks and Whites drug users\' criminal behavior, with Whites being more active in theft and robbery and Blacks in trafficking, and extends the idea that drug use by homeless people is stress-related and hence an indicator of a health condition.
摘要:
巴西是世界上最不平等的民主国家之一。尽管由于极端贫困人口的再生产,我国无家可归者的数量有所增加,很少有人讨论他们的福利和权利。在本研究中,我们用理论方法分析住在富裕的新自由主义中等规模的东南部城市圣保罗的无家可归者,巴西最富有的国家。数据是在圣保罗民警和圣保罗内政司法警察局的事先许可下从警察报告中获取的。我们的结果表明,在法国的无家可归现象似乎是可比的其他大城市,在那里黑人,人口的少数,构成了大部分无家可归的人。它还否认无家可归的活动增加了犯罪行为,强调黑人和白人吸毒者犯罪行为的区别,白人在盗窃和抢劫方面更加活跃,黑人在贩运方面更加活跃,并扩展了无家可归的人吸毒与压力有关的想法,因此是健康状况的指标。
