RESUMO

The aim of this work is to examine and understand the unequal incidence of homicides in the urban area of the city of Cascavel / PR, between the years 2000 and 2006. The paper searches to understand why this type of crime can vary from one city to another unit and the relation between this phenomenon with the socioeconomic inequalities, infrastructure and urban services. The discussion has its origins in the accelerated process of urbanization in Brazil, which was concurrent with the large number of murders experienced in recent decades. Urban expansion in Brazil occurred, in large standard, in a confused way that was characterized by heterogeneity and socio segregation, which favored the emergence and / or intensification of various issues, including the violent crime, in special homicides. It revels that the non-metropolitan medium cities are showing bigger growth rates than the bigger cities and in this time is happening an internalization process of the murders in Brazil (IBERO-ORGANIZATION OF AMERICAN STATES, 2007). The city of Cascavel presents high homicides rates and it is introduced in a special way in this rapid urban expansion process. Few administrative urban units present high homicides rates and this fact shows that is necessary to understand this phenomenon in this city. Considering this context and the explanations present at the literature about the topic, an empiric research was done about the space distribution of murders in Cascavel urban setting. The paper searches to taste the relation between the phenomenon in discussion, the socioeconomic inequalities, infrastructure and the urban services, and identify elements that can contribute to the comprehension of this happening in Cascavel. Therefore, a statistic technique of exploratory analyzes of data space, (TÃcnica estatÃstica de AnÃlise ExploratÃria de Dados Espaciais â AEDE) is used to understand the space standard of the crime in question, as well as the level of the space correlation with the independent variable of the study which were obtained in a number shape in the database of IBGE. Considering some information expressed only in cartographic format developed by âSecretaria de Planejamento Municipalâ, a qualitative analysis was done on the space information. This analysis has an expressive contribution for the comprehension of the phenomenon studied.
