PUBLIC EXPENDITURE AND INTENTIONAL VIOLENT DEATHS: AN ANALYSIS OF BRAZILIAN STATES BETWEEN 2011 AND 2023

Abstract

This article proposes to analyze the budgetary impacts of public spending on social assistance, sanitation, and public safety in Brazilian states in relation to intentional violent deaths that occurred in their respective territories between 2011 and 2023. The theoretical framework for the research was essentially technical texts addressing the public budget and some of its aspects, such as public expenditure. The methodology used was quantitative, and secondary data were collected in the research from the Brazilian Public Security Forum and transparency portals of Brazilian states. Increasing public spending on social assistance can contribute to reducing intentional violent deaths in Brazilian states.
