Abstract:

The profile of the authors of deaths of intentional aggressions in the city of Rio de Janeiro in 2015 is presented, according to investigation datathe State Civil Police (PCERJ) on violent lethality. It is a quantitative, descriptive and cross-sectional study. The information includes intentional homicides, theft followed by death, bodily injuries followed by death and homicides arisingopposition to police intervention. The profile of the authors of each category was analyzed, except the last one that, due to its specificity, will be analyzed separately. From the total of 1,562 deaths, those committed by Police intervention were subtracted. Of the 1255 crimes here studied, only 20% had their authors identified. The following variables are used: sex, age, education, occupation, previous relationship between author and victim and type of circumstance of death due to aggression. The weight of illegal activities by drug traffickers and militiamen (62%) is demonstrated. Another part (39%) is the result of interpersonal violence in domestic and living spaces. There is a great similarity between the profile of the perpetrators and the victims of violent lethality in a similar urban context: men (94%), young people (19-39 years old) (81%), blacks (66%), with low education and high levels of not formal occupation.
