        Abstract

        This paper investigates the relationship between organized crime, conflict between factions and homicide rates in Brazilian states. For this, two proxies are proposed: the first is defined by the rate of theft to financial institutions and measures the effect of the presence of organized crime; the second is defined by the proportion between the number of homicides by firearms and the total number of homicides and captures the conflict between factions. The data covers the period from 2007 to 2015, covering all Federation Units, except the Federal District. In view of the presence of endogeneity, the inference was carried out using the method proposed by Arellano and Bover (1995) and Blundell eBond (1998). Among the results, it is highlighted that both asproxies were statistically significant and had a positive sign, indicating that such groups are important to explain the persistence of the high homicide rates in the States.
