Samira Bueno
Samira Bueno is the Executive Director of the Brazilian Forum on Public Security. At the age of 39, she became an outspoken advocate for addressing urban violence in São Paulo after experiencing her first robbery in July 2022. Despite data indicating a decrease in property crimes, she highlights a growing public perception of insecurity, particularly concerning armed robberies and latrocínios (robberies resulting in death). Samira emphasizes the need to understand the complexities of urban crime dynamics, especially the increasing value of smartphones and the rising number of firearms in circulation. Her insights stem from both personal experiences and extensive research in sociology, making her a critical voice in the ongoing discourse about safety and crime in Brazil.
