One territory, one substance and three Public Policies acting on the same population.The work has as its goal to offer an analysis of the Pubic Policies for crack users installed in the São Paulo"s "Cracôlandia" territory, located in the "Luz" neighborhood ( São Paulo -SP).The creation of the program "Crack é Possível Vencer", articulated on the emergence of speeches which speculated about a possible epidemic and growing interest on media about the users population, opened the possibility to the creation of institutional spaces to the State to intervene on crack users.Within this context, and within this context, and articulated to this program of the Federal Government, there are two Public Policies: "Programa Recomeço"of State management -and "Programa De Braços Abertos"of Municipal management.The actions of these two policies during the years 2014 and 2015 are the focus of the empirical object of this work.The effort of the researching was in the sense of investigate with Public Policieswhich proposed to operate on the field of Public Health and care -they would materialize in the territory, as the institutional discourse would translate as practical.In particular, it was interesting to observe if the new actions would inhibit the historical movement of cleaning the territory and expulsion of members.Seeking to include in the research point of views, experiences and discourses that are not confined to institutional account, it was used three data sources: surveys conducted in the region, reports and documents released by the media and field research in the region, reports and documents released by the media and field research.It was done a reading and detailed description of three ethnographies done in the region, with the intend of comparing the past interventions with the currentone; through the analysis of two characters that appeared in the media in 2015, it was drew up the crack user image that is conveyed socially.In addition, through the observation done in the territory, it was described the events that happened during a delimitated time, it was distributed I three areas: Health, Repression and Resistance.From this research itinerary was drawn up a discussion that punctuates the differences between theory and practice.Among the final considerations, there is the difference of treatment models proposed by Public Policies -hospitalization and Harm Reductionand how this dispute materializes in the caring of crack users.Although there was an increasing in health offers, there was also a progressive increase in the numbers of security agents and surveillance gear in "Cracolândia", establishing what is called users Confinement, through cleaning practices, removal of the users" goods and recording of the users.One strategy of gentrification was detected and described, action which the protagonist is an insurance company which, in the delimitated period, showed overly active in the territory, mobilizing state actions.And at least, were also described the resisting actions of the users facing the creation of Public Policies and the other forms of state intervention, actions as the creation of "little slums" and the work of professionals and militants of the region.It is expected this work helps to a better comprehension of the São Paulo"s "Cracolândia" and provides subsidies for better public policies that are created on the territory
