Mapa de homicídios ocultos no Brasil

Resumo

Based on the Mortality Information System (SIM ) , we estimated the number of hidden homicides ( HOs ) in each unit of the Brazilian Federation ( UF ) , considering that the deaths were misclassified as "undetermined". To that end, we analyzed the socioeconomic and situational characteristics associated with each of the almost 1.9 million violent deaths that occurred in the country between 1996 and 2010 . The results of this study indicated that the number of homicides in the country would be 18.3% higher than the official records , which represents about 8,600 homicides not recognized each year . Thus , the estimates indicate that Brazil has surpassed the annual mark of 60 thousand deaths by assault . The calculations also showed that a substantial increase in the homicide rate in many states of Brazil , and in particular , the Northeast has not occurred , but that the official rates were driven by decreased underreporting that occurred with the improvement in the quality of YES . Nevertheless , in recent years , there has been a worrying phenomenon of increase in violent deaths whose intention was not determined . This fact did not occur across the board in the country , but was confined mainly to seven states : Rio de Janeiro , Bahia , Rio Grande do Norte , Pernambuco , Roraima , Minas Gerais and São Paulo .
