Abstract

ABSTRACT
Objective: To analyze the correlation between raw rates of rape and year of occurrence, and
spatial patterns of notified cases of rape against adolescents.
Method: This was an ecological study, with a temporal trend, carried out based on notifications
made between 2009 and 2014 of cases of rape against adolescents residing in the state of
Pernambuco, Brazil, collected by the municipality through the Violent Crimes Notification
Information System. The data were analyzed using TerraView software version 4.2.2. based on
the municipal digital cartographic databases of Pernambuco and the population size provided
by the Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics.
Results: There was a positive linear correlation between raw rates and year of occurrence and
spatial association among municipalities.
Conclusion: Combating this violent crime requires changes in cultural conceptions and
government support to effectively implement intersectoral health actions.
