Police use of deadly force in Brazil and the Philippines
What macro-level factors tell us
Brazil and the PhiliÂppines both have compaÂratively high rates of police use of deadly force, which have addiÂtionally increased in recent years. The report anaÂlyzes the extent to which structural variables such as demoÂgraphy, ecoÂnomy, and crime rates can explain variÂations in police lethality at the subnaÂtional level. It draws on the contrasting explaÂnations of conflict theory and consensus theory. The former holds that police (violence) is often used by elites to protect their interests and suppress a potenÂtially dangerous underclass. The latter, on the other hand, assumes that the police is a central instiÂtution for ensuring secuÂrity and that police force is therefore directed against those who attack the social order rather than against specific groups.
However, the results of the anaÂlysis are not partiÂcularly consistent with either theory. Furthermore, the variables for which correÂlation can be proven differ greatly between the two countries. In attempting to find possible explaÂnations for deadly police force, therefore, context and interÂmediary factors such as meaning, culture, normative order, socially estaÂblished practices, and the poliÂtical situation must be considered.
