Abstract

The theory of restrictive ambience deals with the attractive capacity of urban spaces to perpetuate the criminal, making him a slave and master at the same time, with hypotheses based on the risk-reward ratio. In this paper, the restrictive ambience index (IAR) and the violence index (IV) were created through principal component analysis. Exploratory spatial data analysis was used to discover patterns of association (clusters) in the city of Fortaleza, Ceará, as well as spatial regression models. It was found that territories and their levels of violence correlate with vulnerable areas, explaining the spatial inertia of violence in space and time.
