Homicides: the condemnable social annihilation

In this article, we seek to understand the practices and foundations directly linked to homicides that impact the increase in violence rates. The increase in social unrest is noticeable in movements and collective actions in opposition to the generalization of violent actions produced by criminal groups. It should be noted that the issue is not simple, since complex factors are directly associated with this social phenomenon. In this investigation, based on the analysis of qualitative and quantitative material, we will seek to produce a detailed description of the flow of homicides that occurred in the city of Juazeiro, in the state of Bahia - Brazil. In the text, we will concisely highlight the motivations for these crimes, with the aim of guiding the reader to reflect on the incompatibility between life and social annihilation.
