Crianças e adolescentes vítimas de crimes em Manaus: dados da Secretaria de Segurança Pública do Amazonas

Abstract

This Final Course Work aims to study the incidence of crimes against children and adolescents in Manaus, analyzing georeferenced data provided by the Amazonas Public Security Secretariat (SSP-AM) from 2019 to 2023. The study uses geographic information system tools, such as ArcGIS, to map and examine occurrences, with an emphasis on crimes of sexual exploitation, violence and violent deaths committed against children and adolescents. The results indicate patterns of high incidence in certain areas of the city, suggesting the need for targeted interventions and improvements in public policies for the effective protection of victims. In addition, the work focuses on the performance of the agencies responsible for repression, prevention and protection of victims, detailing the frequency and locations with the highest incidence of cases. The work includes documentary research together with the production of a quantitative analysis of the registered cases. This study contributes significantly to the understanding of the dynamics of crimes against minors in Manaus, offering a solid basis for the development of future policies to prevent and combat these crimes in the municipality.
