Description:

Homicides

This polygon layer represents the occurrence of homicides by administrative unit (ADM1: department, province, or state) for 2023.

Homicide data are a key source of information for understanding living conditions in a given region. They highlight governance challenges that impact sustainable development. High homicide rates indicate insecurity, making it difficult to implement social, economic, and infrastructure initiatives, as affected communities tend to be more isolated and face greater limitations in accessing basic services. Violence can also erode trust in local institutions, weakening their ability to provide services and enforce effective policies, creating a vicious cycle of distrust and conflict. Additionally, high homicide rates and violence can discourage investment, as businesses and investors are often reluctant to operate in environments where security and social stability are compromised. Therefore, homicide data are not only essential for assessing living conditions but also serve as a crucial variable for the success of development projects and investment attraction in any region.

This layer is an adaptation by AmazoniaForever360+, 2023, in collaboration with the Office of Institutional Integrity of the IDB, based on processed data published in the Homicide Monitor (HM) by the Igarapé Institute. The HM is a publicly available dataset on homicides, sourced from primary and public data, including criminal justice and public health sources. The Igarapé Institute is an independent and nonpartisan institution based in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Founded in 2011, it conducts research and develops solutions in public security, climate, and digital governance, aiming to influence public and corporate policies at national and global levels. The original data have been simplified for web use and include:

• (NAME_0): Country identifier.
• (NAME_1): First-order administrative unit identifier (department, state).
• (Homicide_n): Total number of reported homicides for the reference period. This is an absolute figure representing the total homicide cases in the region.
• (Homicide_r): Homicide rate per 100,000 inhabitants in each state or administrative unit. This value is calculated by dividing the number of homicides (Homicide_n) by the population of the region and multiplying by 100,000. It is a relative measure that allows for comparison of homicide incidence across regions with different population sizes.
