SOUTHEAST, THE LEAST VIOLENT REGION, BUT THE SECOND HIGHEST ABSOLUT NUMBER OF VIOLENT DEATHS

Among Brazil’s five regions, the Southeast had the smallest rate of violent intentional deaths (IVD) in 2022. The region had 14.1 IVDs per 100,000 inhabitants. On top of that, the region also followed the national trend of fall in the number of IVDs, with a reduction recorded when compared to 2021. Despite the positive results, the region still accumulates the second highest total number of IVDs, 11,930, only behind the Northeast region, which had 20,122 violent deaths. Moreover, the region had six cities among the 50 most violent, all of them in the same state, four in the state’s capital metropolitan region. The remaining two are strategic locations for one of the most important economic activities for this state, the oil sector.
