Inequality, violence, and ecology in Brazil

Abstract: This paper studies the articulation of three subjects--ecology, inequality, and violence--as interconnected components of reality, in such a way that each of the three interferes in the whole. At a time of increased ecological awareness, this paper shows that poverty, destination, and violence not only affect the environment, but that they are also responsible for the destruction of culture and life in society.

“…Homicide rate is an indicator of urban and social violence associated with social and economic inequalities, weak role of the State regarding public policies and ineffective public safety actions -all factors contributing to impunity, organization of death squads and drug traffi cking. 18 The association between indicators of urban violence and gender-based violence suggests that high-stress societies play an important role in violence against women.

“…Os resultados indicaram, de forma consistente, melhores condições de saúde em sociedades com distribuição mais equilibrada de renda. No Brasil, vários trabalhos têm sugerido que o crescimento da violên-cia é tributário, em grande parte, do aumento da concentração de renda que ocorreu nas úl-timas décadas (Minayo, 1994;Szwarcwald & Castilho, 1998).
