Authorship SCIMAGO INSTITUTIONS RANKINGS

ABSTRACT

The article analyzes the dynamics of protest control in São Paulo, from June 2013 to June 2014, focusing on coalitions between actors, arenas and institutional repertoires. We argue that the police crackdown on June 13 in São Paulo encouraged ordinary citizens to join the demonstrations, as well as spurred changes in local and federal government responses to protests and in repressive repertoires of social control.

KEYWORDS:
protest control; protest policing; protest repression; June 2013; anti-World Cup demonstrations

Protest Phase	Government Response	Coalitions	Arenas	Repertoires
Outbreak	Repression (coercive)	Local governments (Mayor/Governor)	Street policing	Reproduction

June 6-13		Police stations	Use of escaleted force	Military/Civil⁴ 4 There are two types of police in Brazil: the military police, as ostensive police, and the civil police as the judiciary police, in charge of conducting police investigations. Also, a particularity of the Brazilian criminal justice system is the existence of a preliminary investigative criminal procedure, of administrative nature, conducted by the civil police and overlooked by the criminal prosecutor, aiming to collect data and instruct the prosecutor’s decision to offer charges. Hereafter, we refer to this preliminary investigative procedure as “police investigation”, “police inquiry” or “criminal investigation”.
