Abstract

In Brazil, the occurrence of intentional lethal violent crime (CVLI), with the end result of death, has been drastically increasing in recent decades, becoming a country in a '' epidemic criminal state '', as in other major cities of the country. . Regarding the city of João PessoaPB, due to the actions taken by the public authorities in the area of public security of the state such as: (Paraíba United for Peace Project (PPUP), Drug Eradication Program (PROERD), War Material (weapons and ammunition), technological and human materials). This scenario differs from other capital cities in the country that have been suffering from the significant increase in CVLI cases recently. Criminal cases now practiced in their various modalities such as: (homicides, rapes, murder, bodily injury followed by death among others), are one of the social phenomena that most worry and cause population fear. In this sense, the main objective of this article is to analyze the dynamics and characteristics of the CVLI in the city of João Pessoa-PB, from the official data collection of the State Secretariat of Public Security and Social Defense of Paraíba (SEDS-PB) between 2015 and 2018. The research had a descriptive and exploratory character, being developed from bibliographic survey, systematization and collection of secondary data. For this, we used descriptive statistics techniques associated with Geographic Information Systems (GIS) techniques. According to the research, a total of 17 out of 64 neighborhoods were analyzed, including Mangabeira figure with 126 cases, Gramame 61, Cristo Redentor 71, Mandacaru 67, Oitizeiro 64, Valentina de Figueiredo 60, Varadouro 54, Varjão 49, Cruz das Armas 48, Bairro das Industrias 48, Centro 40, Costa do Sol 37, Grotão 36, Roger 35, Officials II and III, 32, Alto Céu, 29 and Alto do Mateus with 27. The results show that, the violence registered in João Pessoa-PB, especially in the size of the neighborhoods, is distributed differently in urban space and has caused, above all, fear and insecurity in the population. Based on information from the state governmental sectors (SEDS / NACE), the perpetrators and victims of this social problem are predominantly young and adolescents, due to conflicts arising from the nonpayment of debts related to drug use and drug trafficking.
