“…The metropolitan area of the state comprises 13 municipalities with one-third of the state’s population. Since 1999, homicide rates have been increasing in the metropolitan area, which has been linked to easy access and low cost of unregistered firearms, increases in drug trafficking in suburban areas, rapid urban population growth, increasing income inequality, and low rates of school attendance [ 18 ]. It is noteworthy that firearm use constitutes the most common mechanism of homicide in the study area, with links to organised crime, which include extensive acquisition and distribution networks for illicit firearms.…”

Background Homicide presents a significant health burden globally, but geographical differences in homicide rates necessitate focussed analyses of spatial and temporal patterns, particularly in affected areas. The highest rates are concentrated in regions in Central and South America, but analyses of sub-regional patterns and sex-specific differences may yield important information for addressing the upstream causes of homicide at the community level. Objective This study examines and presents spatial and temporal patterns of homicide victims from 2006 to 2015 in the state of Alagoas, Brazil, focussing on the municipality scale and differentiated by victims’ sex. Methods Data comprising victims’ age, sex, the date, time, and the municipality of the homicide incident were acquired from the Brazilian National Mortality Information System. These data were aggregated by municipality, and we made quantitative comparisons of sex-specific homicide rates between the capital city of Macieó metropolitan region and the peripheral, predominantly rural regions. Empirical Local Bayes methods were used to adjust per-capita homicide risk estimates and map the results. Results A total of 19,560 homicides occurred during the study period, with an average of 60.4 per 100,000 inhabitants; the metropolitan region rate was 81.8, compared to 46.5 for the remaining regions. The male homicide rate was 115.9 per 100,000, compared to 7.1 for females. Empirical Local Bayes mapping showed strong clustering of male homicide risk in specific cities near the capital, while female risk was more dispersed throughout the region. Conclusions The risk of male victim homicide observed for the metropolitan region of Alagoas was amongst the highest globally, particularly during the period 2012–2014. Geographical differences in male and female risk may indicate differences in risk factors and highlight a need for prevention programmes that take into account gender-specific pathways of violence.

“…The metropolitan area of the state comprises 13 cities located in the Middle-Eastern portion of the state and its population is one third of the total state population. Since 1999, homicide rates have increased in the Metropolitan Region and some factor are suggested to be related such as the easy and inexpensive access to rearms; drug tra cking in suburban areas; and social problems (rapid urban population explosion, income concentration, low schooling) [17]. It is noteworthy that in Brazil rearms, represent the main homicide mechanism.…”

Background Homicide rates in the state of Alagoas (Brazil) have been high for a long time over the last decade. In this study, we quantified the violence rates and mapping the cities in higher risk for homicide. Method: A surveillance of homicide rates over ten years in the state of Alagoas, located in North-Eastern of Brazil was carried out through spatial-temporal analysis. First, the male/female ratio was calculated later the top violent cities and the relative risk for males and females were mapped. Results A total of 19,560 homicides were investigated in two large regions of the state called Metro Region and Inner Cities. A pattern of violence by homicide involving mostly men throughout all state was observed and highest rates for the metropolitan region of the state capital. Homicide has been spreading from the capital to other inner cities, and distinct pattern was observed when mapping the risk according to sex. Conclusions Homicide has remained as a serious local problem in the state over ten years, and our results suggest that inner areas in the state have experienced an increase of homicide rates, requiring strong investment in combat and prevention.
