| Sumario: | Purpose: This article aims to analyse the existence of a relationship between budget execution and crime levels in the State of Ceará between 2012 and 2021. Methodology: Use of linear regression with the use of dependent variable (budget expenditures with the public security function) and independent variables (public revenue, intentional lethal violent crimes, seizure of weapons, violent crimes, thefts and sexual crimes). Results: Evaluated the proposed variables, the results indicated the influence of 2 (two) of the 6 (six) independent variables analyzed: revenue at 1% and thefts at 10%. The other indicators related to intentional lethal violent crimes, weapons seizure, violent property crimes and sexual crimes did not present consistent results. Contributions of the Study: Increases the level of knowledge about possible relationships between budget expenditures and crime (its various typologies), in order to better understand whether effectively only public security expenditures are capable of influencing the level of crime in a state of the federation. |
