Intentional homicide is not only a social problem but also a sociological one. Analyzing how a state generates data about this crime enables one to perceive how this state deals with this problem. This theses analyzes: a) the generation of data in the punitive legal system when it comes to intentional homicides; b) two plans for public security proposed by the government of Goiás in 2011 and 2012, and c) seventy sentenced cases concerning intentional homicide that occurred in Goiânia in 2007 e 2008. The aim is to discern how the state acts in relation to the crime in question or, in other words, how it exerts its monopoly on force. In order to achieve this, both empirical and theoretical studies about intentional homicide are collated, as well as theoretical reflections on the manner in which the State exerts or practices its power. The qualitative analysis of concluded cases has been made in order to verify whether the evidence found in them - be it regarding the profile of the actors (victims and defendants) or the circumstances under which and the reasons why the crimes took place - corroborate the empirical studies about such crime as well as the theories used in order to understand how the state practices in exerting its monopoly on force can be connected to the choices made in relation to the segment of the population that is the protagonist of what can be called a Brazilian tragedy, which makes approximately fifty thousand victims annually, most of whom are poor black young men.
