Abstract
The plans and actions of public security in the fight against transnational organized crime must consider, for the structuring and solution of the problem, systemically interconnected factors at the different levels of society - and not only the important task of criminal investigation which, in its punctual performance, does not eliminates the cause and does not fully achieve the intended goal. Taking as an example the largest transnational criminal organization in Latin America, the PCC (First Command of the Capital) in São Paulo, the dimension of threat to governments and society compromises the achievement of the fundamental objectives of the State, as well as the erosion of its own foundations.
This article aims to present the importance of instrumentalizing Intelligence Knowledge in the process of advising government decision-making, in order to understand the complex criminal phenomenon in order to advance beyond the local and momentary effectiveness provided by criminal prosecution. By proposing a scientific vision of reality, endowed with tools and methodologies for analysis and knowledge management, such as Value-Focused Thinking (VFT), it is intended to equip Strategic Intelligence in its role as adviser to the State to fight crime transnationally organized, so it allows for a broad understanding of the different influencing factors related to its strengthening
