Resumo Neste artigo se discute o quadro metropolitano dos homicídios em 2010 em um município do Entorno de Brasília, Águas Lindas de Goiás (GO). As externalidades negativas da metropolização de Brasília, em interface com a estrutura e organização da segurança pública e a fragilidade das ações da assistência social no município, esclarecem a dinâmica dos homicídios e os fatores estruturais que influenciam para a sua ocorrência. A pesquisa baseia-se em dados socioeconômicos secundários e em entrevistas realizadas junto aos atores da segurança pública e da assistência social. Os resultados apontam para a segregação socioespacial e a exclusão social no processo de urbanização do município, o alto grau de interação econômica e social deste último com o Distrito Federal, isto é, a polarização que o Distrito Federal exerce na oferta ao mercado de trabalho e de serviços básicos de educação e saúde. Neste quadro, e em face da alta taxa de homicídios no município, o artigo indica a necessidade de políticas cooperadas entre os diferentes entes da Federação envolvidos (União, estados, Distrito Federal e municípios) na área econômica e social e das políticas de segurança pública.
