This thesis sought to identify patterns of crime of violence resulting in 417 municipalities in the state of Bahia. Using the hypothetical deductive method, supported with historical and statistical methods, regional analysis, social analysis, socio-historical and statistical, it was possible to evaluate the application of the theory of Christaller central cities to determine patterns of crime in central cities of Bahia. From the understanding of crime under three conditions: psychological, socioeconomic and ecological, has become feasible to identify the prevalence of crime in these cities. The pattern of crimes, seconds such constraints, had varying degrees in places that have little or large region of influence. The study on the city, according to their historical perspective, involving the urbanization process enabled the identification of this type of crime over the territories studied. It was found that there is a close relationship between the size of the city with this kind of crime there. However it was not possible to assess whether the population size alone is responsible for crime rates in the city. Using the study of regions of influence of cities conducted by the IBGE produced the desired effect for applying the statistical method in establishing the hierarchy of the city according to the volume of crimes occurring in the period 2004 to 2009. The work could evaluate the applicability of the theory of central places for crime analysis, as well as the changing profile of crime as it has expanded relations of influence between municipalities.
