About the Journal

DILEMAS – Revista de Estudos de Conflito e Controle Social is published triannually by the Núcleo de Estudos da Cidadania, Conflito e Violência Urbana (Necvu) of the Instituto de Filosofia e Ciências Sociais (IFCS) of the Universidade Federal do Rio de Janeiro (UFRJ) and the Programa de Pós-Graduação e Sociologia e Antropologia (PPGSA) of IFCS/UFRJ.

The publication was created in July 2008 in an initiative of professors Michel Misse and Alexandre Werneck of the Núcleo de Estudos da Cidadania, Conflito e Violência Urbana at UFRJ. The journal was trimestral from 2008 until 2015. Beginning in 2016 three issues have been published each year. N.1 (JAN/FEB/MAR/APR); N.2 (MAY/JUNE/JULY/AUG); N.3 (SEPT/OCT/NOV/DEC). In addition to the regular issues, DILEMAS also publishes special thematic editions, numbered separately, which respect the same criteria as the regular editions.

DILEMAS publishes a continuous flow of original and previously unpublished scientific contributions, preferentially based on empiric research, in the form of articles, reviews and interviews in the social sciences (with priority for sociology and anthropology). Its mission is to promote scientific development and the discussion of themes from the field of conflicts and social control studies in the social sciences, such as: deviant behaviors, violence, crime, morality, conflicts involving social movements and collective action, urban conflicts, criminal justice, public security, and public and private institutions of social control. The target public is composed of readers at a university level in general, especially those in the human sciences and mainly students and specialists in the fields of criminology, sociologies of crime, violence, institutions and social control; anthropologies of law, violence and urban conflicts; and related fields.
