Public security costs are private (mainly spending on security services), public (such as expenses with the judicial system and police services) and social (loss of quality of life, for example). Countries must manage all these costs so as not to burden the population excessively or to degrade their well-being.

This was the topic of the panel that closed the first day of the 7th Lisbon Legal Forum, a meeting organized by the Getulio Vargas Foundation (FGV) in partnership with the Brazilian Institute of Public Law (IDP) and the Faculty of Law of the University of Lisbon (FDUL). Antonio Anastasia, Senator, Murilo Portugal, President of the Brazilian Federation of Banks, and Sacha Dark, Co-Director of the Research Center for Equality and Criminal Justice and PhD in Criminology from the University of Westminster, participated in the panel. Flavio Vasconcelos, PhD in Business Administration from the Paris School of Higher Commercial Studies and Director of the Brazilian School of Public and Business Administration at FGV, was mediated.
