Crime, reaction or paralysis

Correio da Manhã26 August 2026 at 23:31

This opinion article discusses how the transformation of each isolated crime into supposed proof of state collapse represents a manipulation of public opinion. The text argues that this alarmist narrative frequently serves political interests, obscuring objective analysis of reality and making it difficult to distinguish between real public security problems and the media exploitation of fear. The author maintains that a more rational and evidence-based debate on criminality is necessary, without falling into the exaggeration that paralyzes public action or serves demagogic agendas.
