Abstract:

The objective was to analyze the trend, spatialization and circumstances associated with violence against vulnerable populations in Brazil, between 2009 and 2017. It used descriptive analysis, spatialization and polynomial regression. 1,116,331 cases of violence were notified, with a frequency increase of 667.5%. In all populations under research there was a predominance of physical violence against women with a low educational level, carried by men in their residences. Sexual and psychological violence were highlighted in feminine and LGBT populations. Negligence was remarkable against disabled people, children/teenagers and elderly people. At least 65% of violence occurrence motivations were characterized as undetermined. Tendency analysis showed ascension of interpersonal violence against women (+8.5%), disabled people (+7.1%), elderly individuals (+55.4%), natives (+99.4%), LGBT people (+3.4%) and racial violence (+30.2%), except for violence against underaged individuals, which showed a decrease (-11.4%). In North and Northwest regions violence against women and underaged individuals prevailed, while in Midwest, South and Southeast regions LGBT, disabled and elderly populations were the most subject to abuse.
