The Crime Economics’ research agenda virtually began with Gary Becker in 1968 and his book “Crime and Punishment: An Economic Approach”. Becker analyzes the individual choice of committing a crime or not under economic reasoning, adding to the discussion the cost versus benefit weighting mechanism. This work, therefore, aims to move in parallel to the usual literature systematization, bringing to the debate Iramuteq’s use, an software in which was made analysis about bibliometrics and lexicometry to identify sub themes and relevant words to the brazilian scientific research about Crime Economics nowadays. It was cataloged and analyzed 94 studies that discuss varied subjects, such as the factors that influence entry to crime, public policies reviews, in addition to economic loss’ calculus in face of violent deaths; using methodologies of diverse statistical scope: interviews, economic modeling, Differences in Differences, Propensity Score Matching, etc. Differences were observed between the scientific production of men and women, such as their attention to the agenda aimed at femicide. Finally, it is noteworthy that, given the statistics of violence and crime in Brazil, the research agenda in Crime Economics should produce more evidence that can contribute to mitigate the high numbers and rates, for example, of intentional lethal violent crimes.
