What does it do?

This is a data only package containing all injury intent deaths (accidents, suicides, homicides, legal interventions, and deaths of unspecified intent) registered by the SSA/INEGI from 2004 to 2022. The data source for the database is the INEGI. In addition the data was coded with the Injury Mortality Matrix provided by the CDC. The code used to clean the database is available as a separate program

Installation

For the moment this package is only available from github. For the development version:

if (!require(devtools)) {
    install.packages("devtools")
}
devtools::install_github('diegovalle/mxmortalitydb')
library(mxmortalitydb)
library(ggplot2)
suppressPackageStartupMessages(library(dplyr))

Examples

Deaths by homicide in Mexico

injury.intent %>%
  filter(intent == "Homicide") %>%
  group_by(year_reg, intent) %>%
  summarise(count = n())
## `summarise()` has grouped output by 'year_reg'. You can override using the
## `.groups` argument.

## # A tibble: 19 × 3
## # Groups:   year_reg [19]
##    year_reg intent   count

All deaths of unknown intent in Sinaloa (state code 25) where the injury mechanism was a firearm, by year of registration:

## The main data.frame in the package is called injury.intent
injury.intent %>%
  filter(is.na(intent)  & 
           mechanism == "Firearm" & 
           state_reg == 25 ) %>%
  group_by(year_reg, intent) %>%
  summarise(count = n())
## `summarise()` has grouped output by 'year_reg'. You can override using the
## `.groups` argument.

## # A tibble: 16 × 3

In addition to the injury.intent data.frame several other datasets are available:

Homicides merged with the aggressor.relation.code table:

df <- injury.intent %>%
  filter(intent == "Homicide") %>%
  group_by(year_reg, aggressor_relation_code) %>%
  summarise(count = n())
## `summarise()` has grouped output by 'year_reg'. You can override using the
## `.groups` argument.
## A couple of other tables are included in the package to
## interpret some of the values in injury.intent
merge(df, aggressor.relation.code)

A plot of female homicide counts (making sure to exclude those that occurred outside Mexico):

## make sure to only count deaths that occurred inside Mexico (codes 33 to 35 are USA, LATAM and Other)
df <- injury.intent %>%

           intent == "Homicide" & 
           !state_occur_death %in% 33:35) %>%
  group_by(year_reg, intent) %>%
  summarise(count = n())
## `summarise()` has grouped output by 'year_reg'. You can override using the

ggplot(df, aes(year_reg, count)) +

  labs(title = "Female homicides in Mexico, by year of registration")

Homicides in the Mexico City metro area (ZM Valle de México), by the state where the murder was registered

plotMetro <- function(metro.name) {
  require(stringr)
  ## data.frame metro.areas contains the 2010 CONAPO metro areas
  df <- merge(injury.intent,

    group_by(state_reg, year_reg) %>%
    summarise(count = n())
  ## data.frame geo.codes contains the names of Mexican states (with mun_code 0) and municipios
  df2 <- merge(df2, subset(geo.codes, mun_code ==0), by.x = 'state_reg', by.y = 'state_code')
  ggplot(df2, aes(year_reg, count, group = state_reg, color = name)) +

The drop in homicides in the State of Mexico looks weird, let’s plot by where the murder occurred

plotMetro_occur <- function(metro.name) {
  require(stringr)
  ## data.frame metro.areas contains the 2010 CONAPO metro areas
  df <- merge(injury.intent, 
              metro.areas, 
              by.x = c('state_occur_death', 'mun_occur_death'), 
              by.y=c('state_code', 'mun_code'))
  ## Homicides in Mexico City, by state of registratio
  df2 <- df %>%
    filter(metro_area == metro.name & 
             intent == "Homicide") %>%
    group_by(state_occur_death, year_reg) %>%
    summarise(count = n())
  ## data.frame geo.codes contains the names of Mexican states (with mun_code 0) and municipios
  df2 <- merge(df2, subset(geo.codes, mun_code ==0), by.x = 'state_occur_death', by.y = 'state_code')
  ggplot(df2, aes(year_reg, count, group = state_occur_death, color = name)) +
    geom_line() +
    labs(title = str_c("Homicides in ", metro.name, ", by state of occurrence"))
  }
plotMetro_occur("Valle de México")
## `summarise()` has grouped output by 'state_occur_death'. You can override using
## the `.groups` argument.

So something changed in the way homicides were registered in the State of Mexico and you have to make sure to plot by where the homicide occurred.

Warning

I encourage you to get acquainted with the database since it may contain some errors (introduced at the source) and some fields may be difficult to interpret because of the large number of missing values (see the aggressor relation example). The field intent.imputed is the result of running a statistical model to impute the intent of deaths of unknown intent, and is mainly useful to the author of this package. Feel free to ignore the column.

Total Imputed Homicides in Mexico:

## make sure to only count deaths that occurred inside Mexico (codes 33 to 35 are USA, LATAM and Other)

  filter(intent.imputed == "Homicide" & !state_occur_death %in% 33:35) %>%
