Abstract
This study investigated the association between poverty, inequality and lethal violence in Salvador/BA, having as main reference the number of homicides. Assuming that there is a coincidence between the spaces that concentrate poverty and inequality with the spaces concentration of lethal violence, we sought to understand the interface between these concepts. It is descriptive and exploratory data analysis was based on official indices both in terms of social indicators, as the rates of urban violence. The information was obtained from the Department of Public Safety and other data available on the World Wide Web. We used a hypothetical- deductive method as a method of approach. Appropriated even the documentary, bibliographic methods, statistical survey approach to the object and data analysis. Obtained as a result of the finding that the deprived areas of Salvador are the highest rates of lethal violence and despite the recent improvement in social indicators, social configuration of these areas remains unchanged, also concentrating social inequalities. This research is not conclusive about the relation of cause and effect between the concepts.
