The objective of this research is to understand how public actors who participated, directly or indirectly, of the so-called 'Operation Legal Downtown' of 2012, qualified, in their speech, their vision around the use of crack and the region known as 'cracolândia' located in São Paulo city, notably the Military Police of São Paulo. The research problem is to understand the different discourses that actors have about the use of crack and cracolândia of São Paulo, assuming a theoretical framework that focuses on the study of stigma, deviation and knowledge as an instrument of power. The conclusion is that the stigma and the knowledge of a particular branch of the psychiatric field were very important and influential in building the image voiced by actors interviewed regarding the use of crack and 'cracolândia'.
