Brazil has experienced a significant escalation in crime rates, resulting in many municipalities ascending to top positions in international rankings of the most violent cities. Various socioeconomic factors contribute to this surge in crime rates, prompting public policies to address not only policing but also elements such as education and social inequality. This study aims to conduct a regression analysis on education, inequality, and crime indicators in the municipalities of the state of Pernambuco based on the Ordinary Least Squares (OLS) method. The findings provide insights into the interplay between these factors and guide the formulation of more effective, multifaceted public policies, supporting policymakers on the critical importance of integrating educational and social inequality measures into crime reduction strategies. Additionally, by highlighting specific socioeconomic drivers of crime, the research may lead to more targeted and sustainable interventions in the most affected municipalities.
