Abstract
The following study seeks to demonstrate the main problems raised by the paradigm of Political Sociology in the penal field, namely in the sphere of the dysfunctionalities and the structural contradictions in the systems of penal persecution, to be revisited in Brazil in light of the very application of the current criminal legislation. To do so, we propose a critical reflection on prisons notorious for the crime of drug trafficking, before analyzing data obtained by means of observations and empirical studies carried out at the 2nd Police Station of the Metropolitan Region of the Brazilian state of Rio Grande do Sul. The data collected on the police’s activities points to a selectivity in criminal prosecution across different levels, to have invariably led to the individualization of certain punishable social groups.
Highlights
No ano de 2016, o então novo Secretário Nacional de Políticas sobre Drogas afirmou que o seu compromisso com a nação brasileira seria a forte repressão ao crime de tráfico de drogas, vez que sem isso, o consumo de substâncias entorpecentes ilícitas aumentaria de forma expressiva (MARIZ; FERREIRA, 2016)

Summary
Resumo Este estudo busca mostrar que as principais problemáticas que têm sido suscitadas pelo paradigma da Sociologia Política do Campo Penal, nomeadamente no âmbito dos disfuncionamentos e das contradições estruturais dos sistemas de persecução penal, poder ser revisitadas no Brasil à luz da própria aplicação da atual legislação penal. Propõe-se uma reflexão crítica sobre as prisões em flagrante pelo delito de tráfico de drogas, passando por uma análise de dados obtidos através de observação e coleta de dados empíricos realizada na 2a Delegacia de Polícia da Região Metropolitana do Rio Grande do Sul. Os dados coletados a partir das ocorrências policiais apontam para uma seletividade na repressão penal em níveis distintos, as quais, invariavelmente, resultam na individualização de determinados grupos sociais puníveis. Se propone una reflexión crítica sobre las detenciones en flagrante por delitos de narcotráfico, pasando por el análisis de los datos obtenidos a través de la observación y recopilación de datos empíricos realizados en la 2.a Comisaría policial de la Región Metropolitana de Rio Grande do Sul. Los datos recogidos a partir de los hechos policiales señalan una selectividad en la represión penal a diferentes niveles que invariablemente se traduce en la individualización de determinados grupos sociales punibles. The cartography of repression: An analysis of the clash with the drugs trade in the city of Canoas
