Abstract

Violence is present in various social scenarios, and child specifically causes negative repercussions throughout the life of the individual, constituting challenges of public health policies worldwide. In this context, the objective was to identify the profile of child violence in the city of Palmas, Tocantins, Brazil, by means of documentary research and descriptive analysis of cases of child violence registered in the SINAN Net (Reporting Disease Information System) during 2009 to 2015. In total, 737 (100%) cases of violence against children were reported, and it was possible to identify a significant increase in the number of records over the years, reaching 268 (36.4%) in 2015 alone. It is believed that knowing the profile of child violence can contribute to its confrontation and strengthening of the child protection network.
