A COMPARATIVE STATISTICAL APPROACH WITH CHILDREN WHO HAVE AND HAVE NOT PASSED THROUGH THE STATE PROGRAM OF RESISTANCE TO DRUG AND VIOLENCE (PROERD) OF SCHOOLS IN THE PUBLIC NETWORK OF THE MUNICIPALITY OF COLOMBO/PR - BRASIL

Abstract

The general objective of this article is to present a comparative statistical analysis between children who have and have not passed the State Program of Resistance to Drugs and Violence (PROERD), both from public schools in the municipality of Colombo/PR, In this study, we conducted a comparative statistical analysis of children who had and had not gone through the State Program of Resistance to Drugs and Violence (PROERD), both public schools in the municipality of Colombo/PR, metropolitan region of Curitiba/PR, and who were reported as perpetrators or perpetrators of crimes or misdemeanors registered in the Unified Police Offices of the Military Police of the State of Paraná (PMPR) and Civil Police of Paraná (PCPR). The motivation arose from a research by the U.S. Department of Justice on the same subject. The following question was posed: Did the young people who took the PROERD program in the city of Colombo/PR have a lower incidence of crime than those who did not go through the program? As a methodology, the Dashboard software was used to identify the existing links between BOUs and children who did and did not go through PROERD, making it possible to develop the proposed analysis. Finally, it was found that children who went through PROERD figured, numerically, as authors or reported in more BOUs than children who did not go through the program, i.e., students who went through PROERD committed more crimes than those who did not go through the program.
