Violence and public security are daily approached by mass communication vehicles. Considering violence a symbolic power, the journalists field can either meet or diverge from the public security operators field. The objective of this study is to identify the possible relations between those two fields concerning urban violence. This work also tries to investigate whether the information control about what is violence becomes an object of tension between the fields. In order to verify it, qualitative data were gathered through the analysis of texts from the column Distrito Zero, published on Diário da Manhã newspaper. The mentioned analysis was crossed with semi-structured interviews with civil and military policemen of Goiás, Brazil. This research identified similarities and differences in the way to represent violence and public security, proving that tension between the fields is due to the necessity of control about what should be considered violent.
