“…11 São Paulo had the highest prevalence of alcohol consumption among male victims of homicide, particularly those killed by fi rearms, with a more frequent occurrence on weekends. 1 Illicit drugs are also associated with the risk of homicide, which is the most common cause of death among dependent users of crack (an impure form of cocaine); these are usually men and youths with little education.

OBJECTIVE:To describe the temporal patterns of mortality by homicide in Brazil. METHODS:A series of homicides in Brazil from 2000 to 2009 were studied. The explanatory variables were race/skin color, gender and education. The death statistics were obtained from the Mortality Information System. A trend analysis was performed by means of a polynomial regression for a historic time series (p < 0.05, 95% confi dence interval). RESULTS:The black population represented 69% of the homicide victims in 2009. The homicide rate increased in the black population, while it decreased in the white population in the period studied. The homicide rate increased in groups with both higher and lower education among blacks; among whites, the rate decreased for those with the lowest level of schooling and remained stable in the group with higher educational levels. In 2009, blacks had a higher risk of death than whites from homicide, regardless of education level. Between 2004 and 2009, the homicide rate decreased in the white population, while it increased in the black population. CONCLUSIONS:The relative risk of falling victim to homicide increased in the black population, suggesting an increase in inequality. The effect of the anti-gun measures implemented in Brazil in 2004 was positive in the white population and less pronounced in the black population. Overall, race/skin color predicted the occurrence of homicide.

“…Men are more frequently either victims or perpetrators of homicides, use firearms as instruments of aggression more often, and consume more alcohol and drugs, which may increase aggressiveness and high-risk behaviors [9][10][11][12] . Concerning the high proportion of female victims of sharp force neck trauma, crimes against women are frequently motivated by passion and usually occur in the home environment, where "cold weapons" are easily accessible to perpetrators 12 .…”

Abstract. Neck trauma is associated with high morbidity and mortality. To establish the profile of death by neck trauma in the metropolitan area of Belo Horizonte (BH), Brazil, fatal cases subjected to necropsy at the Forensic Medicine Institute of BH 2006 to 2012 were evaluated. A total of 541 necropsy reports were analyzed; most victims were male (82%), single (70%) and non-white (72%). Almost half of the victims were under 30 years old (47%).Penetrating neck trauma was the most prevalent injury (74%), mainly caused by firearm projectiles (54%), and most cases were of homicide victims (67%). Alcohol consumption before death and positive drug tests were found in almost half of the cases (42% and 45%, respectively). Establishing the sociodemographic and behavioral profile of victims as well the intrinsic characteristics of this type of trauma are potentially relevant for identifying the highrisk population and for elaborating intervention strategies.

“…Em São Paulo, por exemplo, foi observada alta prevalência de consumo de álcool entre homens vítimas de homicídios, particularmente por arma de fogo (40,7%). 22 Os fatores envolvidos nas mortes violentas são amplos, incluem aspectos pessoais, familiares, econômicos sociais e ambientais. Assim, a violência precisa ser enfrentada, concomitantemente, por vários segmentos da sociedade, incluindo-se a área da saúde.…”

RESUMOO objetivo do estudo foi avaliar a prevalência de exame toxicológico positivo (ET+) realizado post mortem e as características das vítimas de violência homicida, com idade de 10 a 19 anos, na cidade de Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais, no período de 2005 a 2009. Realizou-se estudo descritivo de base populacional a partir de dados obtidos no Sistema de Informações sobre Mortalidade (SIM). Entre as 4. 159 vítimas de homicídios de todas as idades, 1.008 (24,2%) tinham 13 a 19 anos. Nesse grupo etário predominaram os homens (95%), solteiros (98,8), negros (81,2%), com até oito anos de estudo (68,8%) e mortos por arma de fogo (87,5%) em via pública (68,8%). Evidenciou-se ET+ em 80 casos (7,9%). A positividade do ET e o nível de alcoolemia aumentaram com o aumento da idade, com alcoolemia máxima aos 18 anos. Destaca-se a similaridade entre as características das vítimas adolescentes com ET+ e as das demais idades. Ressalte-se que não foi possível determinar o tempo decorrido entre a agressão, a morte e a realização da necropsia. Diante do crescimento da mortalidade por agressão entre os adolescentes brasileiros, os resultados do estudo revelam o uso do álcool como fator a ser incluído entre as políticas públicas visando à redução da violência e à cultura da paz.
