SUMMARY:

It is estimated that 275 million people in the world between 15 and 64 years old used
some type of drug in the year 2020. In that same year, the Brazilian Federal Police
seized about 546,439.57 kg of marijuana and 91,234.87 kg of cocaine (hydrochloride,
crack and base paste), demonstrating that the use and abuse of psychoactive
substances are on the rise in everyday life. The use drugs is highly linked to conditions
of social vulnerability and increased crime rates, and for this reason, the city of Betim
was the target of study, as it is considered one of the most violent in the state of Minas
Gerais. Thus, this study aimed to describe the profile of arrest of marijuana, cocaine
and crack, carried out by the Civil Police, in the region of Betim-MG, in 2017 and 2018.
This is a descriptive observational study outlined, according to the guidelines proposed
by the Declaration of Strengthening Reports of Observational Studies in Epidemiology
(STROBE), carried out on a documentary basis from January 2017 to December 2018.
The collection was divided into four stages: survey of the definitive reports issued to
Police Stations in Betim in 2017 and 2018; PcNet: requisition conferences; PCNet:
verification of definitive reports; and Social Defense Event Records (REDS): REDS
analysis. The sociodemographic profile of individuals apprehended in connection with
illicit drugs, the origin and locations of arrest, related crimes, the occurrence of
apprehension of marijuana, cocaine and crack, and the ways in which these drugs
were apprehended were determined. The database was created using Questionnaire
Development System (QDS) version 2.6.1.1. Subsequently, data were exported to the
Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) version 19, for statistical analysis. In
total, 568 definitive reports and REDS were analyzed for the study period. From the
analysis of these documents, the sociodemographic profile of the individual
apprehended for a relationship with illicit drugs was mainly composed of men (86.4%),
single (86.6%), with incomplete primary education (33.2%), and with a median age of
20 years. The Police Station on Duty (88%) and the regional offices of the city of Betim,
Norte (22.7%), Imbiruçu (18.4%) and Alterosas (15.6%) were where the greatest arrest
occurred and in relation to crimes related to these apprehensions, for the most part,
corresponded to illicit drug trafficking (85.6%). As for the type of drug, in both years, it
was observed that marijuana was the drug arrest in the greatest amount (51.1%),
followed by cocaine (29.6%) and crack (19.2%). The knowledge of the profile of drug
arrest in this specific region (Betim-MG), allows preventive measures for the trafficking
ix
and use of illicit drugs to be created, contributing to the improvement of public health
and safety.
