Excluding homicides in which ethnicity or skin color was not informed
Supplementary notes
The source notes that the notable descend of homicides registered in 2019 may be due to a deterioration in data quality, as reflected by the disproportionate increase in the number of violent deaths by an undetermined manner. Therefore, the source estimates that there could be around 5.338 more homicides than officially recorded in 2019.
Figures prior to 2012 were retrieved from earlier releases.
The homicide rate registered in Brazil impacts ethnicities very differently. Whereas the number of homicides per 100,000 black or brown people increased to ** percent from 2006 to 2017, the homicide rate of non-black or brown individuals declined to nearly ***percent in the same period. In 2023, the homicide rate for the black ethnic group decreased compared to the previous year.
