Brazil: homicide rate 2006-2021, by ethnicity
The homicide rate registered in Brazil impacts ethnicities very differently. Whereas the number of homicides per 100,000 black or brown people increased by 33 percent between 2006 and 2017, the homicide rate of non-black or brown individuals dropped by nearly 19 percent in the same period. In 2021, the homicide rate for both ethnicity groups decreased when compared to the previous year.
