Abstract

The objective of this work is to analyze the occurrences of robberies and qualified thefts of vehicles using spatial and descriptive analysis to understand how the dynamics of this violence is processed in the space of the municipality of Natal, capital of the state of Rio Grande do Norte, recorded in the period between between the years 2012 and 2021. This analysis was carried out by distributing the occurrences of CVP Violent Crime to Heritage, using a single consolidated database, derived from information from the DEPROV database - Specialized Police Department for the Defense of Vehicle Property and Loads, compiled by COINE - Coordination of Statistical Information and Criminal Analysis and worked through the Metadata System used by OBVIO - Observatory of Violence of the Federal University of Rio Grande do Norte. From these data, tables and graphs of the occurrences distributed in the administrative zones of Natal and their respective neighborhoods were produced, in order to generate a cognitive framework on the evolution of these cases throughout the studied period, also using choropleth maps of density aggregated to statistical techniques of spatial analyses. As a result, from the perspective of Metabanco Robbery and Theft of Vehicles (MRFV), it was possible to observe that the highest record is vehicle theft, with the main victim being males, aged between 30 and 34 years and the type of vehicle was the automobile. Considering the two criminal types together, it can be said that the highest frequency of occurrences occurred at night, in the South Administrative Zone of the Capital. The aim is to generate a contribution to the understanding of the places where the occurrences are registered and if the data obtained are sufficient to outline strategies to face this type of crime, pointing out possible gaps in the collection of information that can be improved so that the diagnoses are more accurate. effective for the production of public security policies and public security policies in the capital of the so called Potiguar State.
