The article begins with a theoretical review of the theses on new security management mechanisms developed over the last forty years in the global North, such as "zero tolerance" and "new military urbanism". Then, it explores the nexus between neoliberalism, mega-events, inequalities, and punishment. As an empirical reflection, we focus on the Federal Intervention in Rio de Janeiro's Public Security in 2018. Thus, we aim to contribute to a research agenda that explores the links between new urban designs, differential population management, punishment, and neoliberal capitalism. We also aim to show that Brazilian manifestations of these processes have contributed to changes in the country's social and political arrangements, mainly by strengthening militia groups and the logic supporting them
