Privações múltiplas e homicídios: o caso da Região Metropolitana de São Paulo (2001-2018)
Abstract
The dynamics of the homicide rate in Brazil between 2001-2018 presents a trajectory of certain stability, configuring itself as a chronic problem with economic and social developments. In this scenario, the Metropolitan Region of São Paulo (RMSP) stands out from the others for the drop in this rate and for presenting the lowest value at the end of the analyzed period. At the same time, the RMSP also saw a reduction in the multiple deprivation of its individuals. With this in mind, this paper aims to evaluate the evolution of these multiple deprivations in the RMSP and to relate it to the homicide rate. In short it is observed that the situation of deprivation is multidimensional and determines the individual's potential in criminal practice; of the selected variables, education and the individual's condition in not studying or having any income are those that have the greatest positive elasticities with the homicide rate and; the risks of punishing illegal activity discourages its practice.
