Abstract: This paper aims to measure violence costs in Belo Horizonte. We use accountability methodology to estimate violence costs in Belo Horizonte in 1999. We consider the following categories of costs: costs of lost lives, health treatment costs, public and private security costs, private insurance costs and the value of direct losses. Our findings suggest that R$ 835,000,000 (eight hundred and thirty five millions of reais) is the amount lost due to violence in Belo Horizonte. This value represents 4.1% of the municipal GDP in 1999.
