Abstract
This article examines the social exclusion issue, from the perspective of the growth of the Brazilian economy as a cause of increased local crime. Considering that crime is one of the main problems the Brazilian society faces, along with unemployment, it is important to analyze crime related to the social exclusion problem in the Brazilian society that supposedly lives in a process of economic growth. The methodological approach adopted in this analysis is based on a theoretical review of relevant literature on crime, social exclusion and economic growth. The statistical data used in this paper are from the following sources: Institute of Applied Researches (IPEA), Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistic (IBGE), Ministry of Health – Information System on Mortality (YES – Datasus) and the National Secretariat for Public Security (SENASP) of the Ministry of Justice (MJ). The results recall that, according to experts, crime must be studied in sociology, psychology, economics and law. Likewise, it is pointed out that public safety managers should take lessons with administrators, since they manage the short age.Therefore, treating crime in only one way is impossible. The conclusion is that the exclusion driven by the rising socioeconomic inequality is a relevant factor for the systemic problem of crime.Key words: economic growth, crime, social exclusion.
