Descripción
Sumario:The expansion of the First Command of the Capital (PCC) throughout Brazil was not sufficiently considered in academic studies, nor were the effects of the group's actions in the Minas Gerais’ territory. Based on Misse's (1999, 2008) conception of social accumulation of violence, the proposal of the paper is to analyze how widely circulated newspapers deal with both issues. In this sense, articles from Folha de S. Paulo and O Tempo, launched between 2005 and 2017, related to the action of the PCC, were systematized. It was possible to study the process of diffusion of the São Paulo organization throughout Brazil and Minas Gerais.
