Resumen
RESTREPO-BETANCUR, Luis Fernando. Statistical evaluation of homicides in South America between 1990 and 2020. Rev. Cient. Gen. José María Córdova [online]. 2022, vol.20, n.37, pp.187-205. Epub 01-Ene-2022. ISSN 1900-6586. https://doi.org/10.21830/19006586.852.
Currently, violence is a major issue worldwide; it manifests in different ways and finds in homicide an extreme form of expression that reflects major social problems. This article compares the proportion of homicide deaths and the homicide rate among South American countries over the last thirty years through a longitudinal descriptive comparative study based on the general linear model. It finds that Colombia, Brazil, and Venezuela have the highest homicide statistics for this period, concluding that the highest number of cases is found in countries where groups outside the law and issues of inequality and poverty exist.
