As the hosting city of the world’s leading sporting events - the soccer World Cup in 2014 and the Olympics in 2016 - Rio de Janeiro launched a process of "pacification" of its favelas in December 2008, justifying the decision with the intention of achieving suitable safety measures for hosting the events. This process consisted of the military occupation of urban areas that had spent decades dominated by the commandos of the drug cartels. But the violent methods used by the drug barons to control the territory were not simply replaced in the favelas by non-violent methods used by the police. This article sets out to answer the awkward question that social researchers have avoided asking themselves directly ever since the process of pacification started: do the people living in the favelas perceive the domination of the gangs as more acceptable than today’s military occupation?
Keywords: Pacification - Favelas - Rio de Janeiro - Legal consciousness - Violence
