This paper highlights the importance of scientific research as an articulator of improvements for the national public security system. To this end, it highlights the country's tradition of focusing on addressing violence through state violence, which could be largely avoided by expanding police and scientific intelligence strategies, focusing on public efforts in crime prevention and investigation research that provides good practice. As a way of mapping the situation of the research in the area, stands next to the platform Sucupira of Capes, magazines that are specialists in the subject, totaling ten periodicals. Randomly, three of these journals are chosen, analyzing their publications from 2014 to 2017. In this analysis, the following parameters are evaluated: publication format, origin science of the works, region of the origin country of the authors and, finally, level of training. It is concluded that: a) the scientific journals are presented in smaller quantity than the society demands and it has difficulty to raise authors with higher qualifications; b) magazines have a predominance of the article format, which limits the understanding of the theme by not guaranteeing the participation of the dimension of the experience; c) the diversity of sciences converging in research represents an important interdisciplinarity for the understanding of a naturally complex theme; d) the regions that suffer the most violence are the ones that least produce research in the area.
