Published by Igarapé and developed in conjunction with PRIO, the monitor is an innovative data-driven visualization tool that shows the distribution, dimensions and dynamics of homicide around the world. It is based upon technology developed by Google in conjunction with PRIO and the Igarapé Institute for the Mapping Arms Data project that visualized the trade in small arms and their ammunition.
