Over the last three decades, Brazil produced over one million deaths by homicide.This puts Brazil in a sad position of the 18thcountry with the highest rates of violent deaths in the world (GENEVA DECLARATION ON ARMED VIOLENCE AND DEVELOPMENT, 2011). To solve this problem, many private and public efforts had been made. One effort with major prominence is the Disarmament Statute. Since the promulgation of this legislation over ten years ago,the economic literature about crimeis still not unanimous about the effectsof firearms on violent crimes. To analyze these effects, this dissertationinvestigates thedifferent approachesof the Economic Theory of Crimeand elaborateson a theoretical modelable to supportthe empirical analysis. This analysisevaluatesthe relations between firearms and homicides byfirearm perforationin Brazilandin the Rio Grande do Sul state, usingpanel Vector Autoregressives. It is concluded thatthe effectsbetweenfirearms and homicides varyaccording tolocal heterogeneities, being impossible to extrapolate this results.
