This thesis describes the process of growth and decline of homicide in São Paulo between 1960 and 2010.With assistance of the theoretical tools of developmental criminology and situational theory of action, which has been debated by criminologists as Wikström, Sampson and Laub, the thesis focuses on the choices of murderous over the years, always considering the context in which they were taken.Through a qualitative analysis, the thesis attempts to demonstrate the social mechanisms that caused the movement of the curve of homicides in the São Paulo capital and the metropolitan area.Between 1960 and 1999, homicides increased and the cases were concentrated in neighborhoods and cities from the suburbs.Since 2000, the homicide rate began to fall almost continuously in Sao Paulo.The thesis describes how these choices start and multplicam mainly from the time the murders began to be seen and practiced as an instrument of control by certain groups of individuals, including the public security authorities.Then, the thesis describes the operation of the multiplier mechanism of homicides that starts to work in these communities, where homicides cause new murders.Finally, as the murders multiply, these same communities, all start to lose with the murders, including the authors themselves, who become victims of revenge.When the killings are seen as harmful actions and unable to ensure social control, political and society control of violence are more likely to succeed.This is what happens in Sao Paulo
