A relação entre as despesas com segurança pública e a criminalidade nos estados brasileiros no período de 2012 a 2021

Abstract

The phenomenon of violence places public security at the forefront of the country's socio-political agenda, requiring the development of guidelines aimed at preventing and repressing crime. However, due to the finiteness of resources in the face of numerous social concerns, it is claimed that spending on public security reverberates in crime control. In this sense, the general objective of the work is to establish a relationship between public security expenses and crime in the Brazilian states in the period from 2012 to 2021. For this purpose, based on Becker's theory (1968), the research was descriptive. , with a quantitative approach technique and documental data collection, through statistical correlation and regression techniques. In the end, the results showed that there is no relationship between spending on public security per capita and homicide, robbery and robbery rates per 100,000 inhabitants. On the other hand, through the correlation, a weak positive relationship was inferred between the referred expenses and the rate of illicit drug trafficking, whereas, according to the regression mechanism by the mixed generalized linear model, the drug trafficking rates narcotics per 100,000 inhabitants and time are significant in relation to public security expenditures per capita.
