The number of homicides of persons aged between 15 and 29 years had been rising in Brazil up until 2017. In that year, nearly 35,800 people from that age group were murdered in the South American country, up from almost 33,600 recorded one year before. In 2021, this figure had fallen to over 24,200.

The source notes that the notable descend of homicides registered in 2019 may be due to a deterioration in data quality, as reflected by the disproportionate increase in the number of violent deaths by undetermined manner (which grew by 69,9 percent between 2017 and 2019).
