The objective of the present study was to analyze the perception about (in) security among the residents in Jurunas, one of the most violent neighborhoods in Belém do Pará. The research had a qualitative approach, using the semi-structured interview technique. For the treatment of the data, we opted for the Content Analysis, to analyze the speeches of the participants involved in the research. The investigation results indicated that in the subnormal cluster área, the perception of insecurity is more intensely than in the regular urban area, as well as evidenced a direct relationship between the perceived insecurity and the socio-spatial reality of the residents.
