A autocomposição de conflitos como instrumento de pacificação social e seus reflexos na prevenção da violência em comunidades de baixa renda

Abstract

The auto-composition of conflict has direct impact on social peace and violence prevention. To analyze the impacts of utilization of the auto-compositive mechanisms and its importance for low-income communities is a central goal of this dissertation. The development of this research is made by the systemic way and by the documental bibliography, understanding the conflict as a social fact which requires proper treatment for the balance of social relations, in particular the conflicts unleashed in excluded communities and low-income communities. In this same approach, this research studies the auto-composition mechanisms of dispute resolution, namely the negotiation, conciliation and mediation, checking its suitability to the characteristics of these social strata and the reflections of the use of these techniques in social peace and prevent violence. Utilizing the systemic method of research, beyond the technical literature and documents, we conclude the effectiveness of auto-composition conflict in low-income communities to promote social peace and prevent violence by strengthening community relationships and individuals empowerment, promoting their awareness and give them some tools to manage future disputes, which can be already checked by public policies already in progress in Brazil, but still in small proportion.
