Abstract

Objective: To identify in the literature the main types of vulnerability and their connection with the occurrence of violence in population. Method: This is a scoping review, following the PRISMA-ScR protocol, aimed at answering the following question: "What are the main vulnerabilities associated with the occurrence of different forms of violence in society?" Data sources included the Virtual Health Library (VHL), LILACS, PubMed, Medline, and SciELO. Results: Of the 12 articles selected at the end of the search, it was found that violence is directly related to socioeconomic and structural vulnerability, gender, childhood, adolescence, intergenerational violence, and institutional limitations. Conclusion: Violence is concentrated in certain social groups that configure patterns of vulnerability, highlighting the need for advances in health care and public policies aimed at reducing exposure to violence.
