Why did Goiás' government hide a 6% increase in femicides from its 2025 public security presentation?

The episode begins with the announcement that Goiás' Secretary of Public Security, Renato Brum, presented the 2025 public security report. The report showed declines in many crime categories but omitted data on femicides, which increased from 56 to 59 cases, a 6% rise. Governor Ronaldo Caiado has used these crime reduction figures in his presidential pre-campaign. The host, Cileide Alves, questions whether Goiás is truly a national reference in security. She references the National System of Information of Public Security (Cinesp) from the Ministry of Justice, which collects uniform data from all states. While Cinesp has not yet compiled 2025 data, Alves examines trends from 2018 to 2024. Nationally, homicides fell 30-35%, from 57,000 in 2018 to 38,000 in 2024. In Goiás, the drop was steeper at 50%, and the 2025 report claims a 62% reduction. However, states like Bahia and Mato Grosso did not maintain consistent declines. For property crimes, Goiás saw dramatic reductions, such as over 90% in cargo theft, contrasting with record highs in Southeast states like São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro. Alves notes that São Paulo has the lowest homicide rate in Brazil at 5-8 per 100,000 inhabitants, while Goiás has 18 per 100,000. Conversely, São Paulo and Rio have higher risks of property crime. The episode shifts to the political context, noting this was Governor Caiado's last security presentation before Vice-Governor Daniel Vilela takes over in two months. Vilela announced a plan for police salary and career improvements and an upcoming event to launch an artificial intelligence program for crime combat. Governor Caiado emphasized a smooth transition, stating Vilela has been involved in governance and there will be no disruption. The host interprets this as a message that Caiado's policies will continue under Vilela's administration.
