Abstract
This research aims to problematize the Rio de Janeiro public security context, analyzing how it creates acceptance or elimination of different psychosocial expression forms. The purpose is to verify how the challenges of living in community have produced demands related to alterity, on one hand, related to segregation and exclusion and, on the other, to integration and respect of social diversity. In this sense, the theoretical and methodological concept of psychosocial cartography, discussed by Deleuze, Guattari, Rolnik and others, has been used. The research discusses the continuities and transformations in the public security paradigms, articulating specific points with the Northern Ireland security experience. Finally, this research seeks to problematize the relationship between police and citizens, defending that security practices occur based on diversity and human rights respect.
