This alarming data is part of the Brazilian Annual Report on Public Security, published this Thursday 8 August, by the Brazilian Forum for Public Security.<\/p>\n<p>According to the report, there was a 20% increase in deaths due to police interventions: 5,144 people, the equivalent of 14 per day, died under these circumstances, almost a thousand more than recorded in 2017. Civil and military police are included in the statistics \u2013 one police officer per day was murdered in the last year.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\u00a0<u><a href=\"http:\/\/www.forumseguranca.org.br\/publicacoes\/anuario-brasileiro-de-seguranca-publica-2018\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Access the data in full<\/a><\/u><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>\u201cThese figures show that the public security policy that has been in place for the past 20 years is fundamentally flawed. We need to reform our model, starting with the police who should be demilitarised and should be subject to external control. We also need to break with the logic that arresting people leads to an increase in safety. We currently have the third largest prison population in the world and records of violent deaths are increasing every year.\u201d Said Rafael Cust\u00f3dio, Coordinator of Institutional Violence at Conectas.<\/p>\n<p>The method used by the Brazilian Form for Public Security in arriving at these figures, was to count cases of intentional violent death, which includes cases of felony murder, murder committed during a robbery, bodily harm leading to death, police deaths in confrontation and deaths resulting from police intervention. \u201cIt should be stressed that in the case of records on rape and domestic violence there is endemic under-notification. In other words, these figures are actually much higher as the victims, mostly women are afraid to denounce aggressors.\u201d Rafael added.<\/p>\n<p>The Yearbook also provides data about the 119 thousand weapons confiscated and investment in public security. In 2017, the government invested 1.3% of GDP and proportionately spent around R$34 per month per citizen.\u00a0<u><a href=\"https:\/\/igarape.org.br\/brazil-spends-billions-on-public-security-why-is-violence-getting-worse\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Another study<\/a><\/u>, however shows that violent deaths cost the public coffers around 4.3% of GDP and that the death of a young person costs as much as R$ 550 thousand, taking into account the loss of productivity over a lifetime.<\/p>\n<p><strong>See a summary of the data:\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-13665\" src=\"https:\/\/conectas.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/fsb.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"990\" height=\"696\" srcset=\"https:\/\/conectas.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/fsb.png 990w, https:\/\/conectas.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/fsb-300x211.png 300w, https:\/\/conectas.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/fsb-768x540.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 990px) 100vw, 990px\" \/><\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"tts__custom-position_bottom_fixed\" ><\/div>","excerpt":"<p>In total, 63,880 people died as a result of murder, murder during a robbery and bodily harm leading to death.
