THE RIGHT TO SECURITY IN RIVERSIDE COMMUNITIES OF COARI-AM: LIMITS OF PUBLIC POLICIES IN THE FACE OF RIVER PIRACY

Abstract

This article analyzes the limits in the implementation of public security policies in riverside communities in the municipality of Coari-AM, focusing on the effectiveness of the fundamental right to security in the face of river piracy. The research problem seeks to understand which factors compromise state action in this specific territorial context. The hypothesis adopted is that the insufficiency of public policies stems from institutional, operational, and territorial limitations, associated with low state presence, precarious infrastructure, and the inadequacy of security models to the Amazonian river context. The general objective is to examine these limitations and their impacts on the protection of riverside populations. Methodologically, the research is applied, qualitative, and exploratory, using the deductive method and bibliographic and documentary procedures. The results indicate that river piracy consolidates in contexts of territorial vulnerability, marked by the absence or inefficiency of public policies, favoring criminal groups and compromising the effectiveness of the right to security. It is concluded that overcoming this scenario requires territorially adapted public policies, institutional integration, and strengthening of state presence.
