Network of Public Security Observatories
The Network of Public Security Observatories emerged in May 2019, bringing together institutions and activists from five Brazilian states with two objectives: to monitor public security policies, with an emphasis on police violence, and to create debate forums and spaces that result in products, actions, and projects to investigate violence in its different dimensions. The partnership was arranged by the Center for Studies on Public Security and Citizenship (CESeC) and counts with the participation of the NEV (SP), the Black Initiative for a New Drug Policy (BA), the Laboratory for Studies on Violence of the Federal University of Ceará (EC), and the Popular Organizations Office for Legal Counsel (PE).

Violence Monitor
The Violence Monitor is a partnership between the NEV, the Brazilian Public Security Forum, and the G1 news portal. It began in September 2017 as an attempt to discuss violence in the country and seek out ways to address these issues by merging accessible journalistic language and the human sciences. The project has since discussed issues such as prisons, police killings, homicides, and femicides. Learn More.
