been a significant increase in crime
in Brazil

primarily in urban areas and in
violent as opposed to property
crime.

ocurred in the Southeast region,
especially in the cities of Sao Paulo

Explaining Crime in Brazil
• What are the explanations for crime
in Brazil?
• Explanations developed in the social
sciences emerged beginning in the
1980’s.
• Prior to then, discussions of crime
were relegated to legal scholars.
Explaining Crime in Brazil
• Explanations from Brazilian scholars
center around four explanations
• Inequality/poverty
• Inefficiencies of the formal system
of social control
• Socal transformations/social
interactions
• Inequality revisited
Crime Trends for Minas Gerais
• In Minas Gerais, we see a crime “peak”
between 2003-2005, with substantial
declines after 2005.
• Minas Gerais also demonstrates the
“interiorization” phenomenon, with
concentrations of crime occurring in other
medium size cities and not just in the
Metropolitan Region of Belo Horizonte

Crime in Belo Horizonte
• Just as in the state as a whole,
crime is not equally distributed in the
city of Belo Horizonte.
• Who you are, where you live and
where you circulate affect your crime
risk.
TRICK or TRENDS  by Dr. Corinne Davis Rodrigues
Determinants of Crime Risk
• Routine activities/Lifestyle
theory
• Social disorganization/Broken
Windows
Socio-demographic
characteristics
• Sex
• Age
• Race
• Socio-economic status
• Marital status
• Employed (working at time of the
survey)
Routine activities/Lifestyle
Variables
• Exposure
• Leisure risk
• Street risk
• Everyday risk
• Proximity
• Lives in favela/public housing
• Guardianship
• Number or adults in household
• Preventive measures
Social Disorganization Variables
• Public disorder
• factor score (abandoned builidings,
empty lots, and trash)
• Social disorder
• sum of 10 items (street vendors,
informal car attendants, homeless,
beggars, public urination or defecation,
public acts of obscenity, general
vandalism, vandalism of public
property, public arguments, and
prostitution)
Determinants of Crime Risk
TYPE OF CRIME CRIME RISK
Robbery
Leisure Risk 7.2%
Street Risk 8.9%
Prevention Measures - 7.1%
Assault
Physical incivilities scale - 24.5%
Buglary
Never married - 12.8%
Lives in favela/public housing 169.6%
Determinants of Crime Risk
• Physical characteristics don’t matter
• Being white, male, etc.
• Where you live matters
• What you do (lifestyle) matters
• -both degree of risk and safety
measures
• Lifestyle matters more for robbery
than for assault
What is being done to keep
you safe?
• Fica Vivo
• Homicide reduction
• Olho Vivo
• Monitored cameras downtown
• IGESP – Integration of Public
Security Management (modeled on
Compstat)
• Integration of information and
resources between police
