RESUMO
Este estudo aborda as desigualdades nas mortes por homicídios em bairros e favelas da Região Centro-sul de Belo Horizonte. Foram analisados os 221 óbitos por homicídios ocorridos no período de 1993 a 1997. A maior proporção de óbitos ocorreu no sexo masculino e em jovens. Evidenciaram grandes desigualdades socioespaciais; o risco de morrer por homicídios foi 16 vezes maior nas favelas do que em bairros. O principal tipo de agressão foi por arma de fogo, envolvendo 72% dos óbitos. Os resultados demonstram a necessidade de enfrentamento dos homicídios numa perspectiva multiciplinar.
