ABSTRACT
The aim of study was to describe trends in physical violence among Brazilian victims and investigate spatial vulnerability of the location of victim's residences. This study performed an ecological-level longitudinal analysis, examining violence rates over 4 years. Cases of 4795 victims of physical aggression attended at a Center of Legal Medicine were investigated. Trend analysis was used to evaluate the data, with the creation of polynomial regression models (pâ¯<â¯0.05). Violence rates showed significant temporal variations according to sociodemographic characteristics of victims (pâ¯<â¯0.05) and the circumstances of aggressions (pâ¯<â¯0.05). Moreover, there was a significant increase in violence rate in the North (R2â¯=â¯16.1%; pâ¯=â¯0.019) and South (R2â¯=â¯18.4%; pâ¯=â¯0.010), whereas the rural zone (R2â¯=â¯10.1%; pâ¯=â¯0.028) presented a decrease. The findings highlight the need for protection policies that address spatial-temporal aspects.
