Análise bibliométrica dos artigos apresentados nos encontros da ANPEC sobre economia do crime

Abstract

Among the factors that can influence the epidemic of violence and crime in Brazil and the failure of the State to combat it, the lack of use of scientific evidence in the elaboration of the fight against violence and homicides stands out, such as the so-called Evidence-Based Public Security (SPBE) promotes. Therefore, the present work aims to contribute to literary productions in the study of crime through the analysis of scientific works selected for presentation at the ANPEC Economic Meetings, at the National and Regional (South and Northeast) through Bibliometric Analysis with the use of the IRAMUTEQ software. In all, 81 articles dealing with the Economy of Crime were analyzed, 62 of which were accepted at the National Meeting and 19 at the Regional Meetings (17 at ANPEC Sul and 2 at ANPEC Nordeste). From the results, it can be inferred that criminology studies are linked to various social factors such as income, inequality, poverty and personal characteristics (such as sex, skin color and age profile), which are often associated with the determinants of crime and violence.
