Criminalidade violenta: análise espaço-temporal dos homicídios no município de Cruz das Almas/ BA (2010 a 2015).

Abstract

The present work deals with the issue of violence in the state of Bahia, specifically in the municipality of Cruz das Almas-BA. This study has as main objective the spatiotemporal analysis of the occurrences of Intentional Lethal Violent Crimes (CVLI), in the municipality of Cruz das Almas-BA, registered between the years of 2010 and 2015, through geoprocessing techniques, identifying the most criticism in the municipality. The qualitative and quantitative research methodology consisted in the development of the work in three stages: theoretical-conceptual approach related to definitions, manifestations, possible determinants of violence and the use of geotechnologies in criminal mapping; presentation of the main National Plans of Public Security implanted in Brazil from the first FHC government and the role of municipalities and municipal guard, from the Federal Constitution of 1988, in facing the problems in the area of public security; collection of official data of the population in the IBGE, technical visits in institutions located in the municipality of Cruz das Almas, as Territorial Delegation and Planning Secretariat, and data collection in the portal of the Secretariat of Public Security of the state of Bahia and the Brazilian Forum of Security Of murder, robbery and bodily injury followed by death. The main results are the lack of an effective National Public Safety Plan that puts into practice the reduction of crime in the country, the absence of the State and the lack of joint participation with municipalities in the performance of public safety. It is noted that some municipalities create their own strategies through punctual actions in controlling crime. In Cruz das Almas, the increase in violent crimes is seen as another municipality in the interior that has high rates. Several actions are being carried out in the area of public safety by the police with collaboration of the municipality and there is a reduction in the CVLI indexes in the following years (2016-2017) to the studied period.
