%X This  study  presents  an  empirical  and  quantitative  study  of  the  causes  of  variation  in  the  crime  rate  at  the municipal level. To this end, using an historical perspective, the primary sources of municipal data used were the homicide rate in 1962, the budget expenditures intended for the Department of Justice from 1918 to 1935 and the National Population Census from 1918 to 1935. The result was a strong negative relationship between crime rates in 1962 and the allocation of justice expenditures from 1918 to 1935, among other variables. This result means  that,  in  the  long-term,  the  variation  in  the  homicide  rate  resulted  from  largeror  smaller  expenditure allocations to the justice sector at the municipal level.
