| Resumo: | In the last Brazilian elections, the rise of candidates from the police and military forces in institutional party politics was observed. To understand this phenomenon, several questions can be listed: what mechanisms support these groups in the electoral race; the course of debates about the formation and existence of “bullet gangs” in Brazil and the way in which the politics of fear and insecurity in relation to crime is mobilized by these groups.
