In Brazil many homeless people die from violence. Several factors influence the occurrence of violence, making the Causality Attribution Theory relevant to the understanding of this theme, as it enables the study of spontaneous explanations provided to social events. Thus, this study aims to understand the influencing aspects of violence for homeless people. It is a qualitative, exploratory and descriptive study. Semi structured interviews were conducted with 91 homeless people. For the analysis of the interviews, the thematic categorical analysis was realized, which was analyzed the categories: Social Context, Intrinsic context, Alcohol and other drugs and Reproduction of violence. Finally, it was found that the participants attributed the violence perpetuated by the other as internal causality, and when perpetuated by themselves were for external reasons.

Keywords : violence; homeless; causality; homelessness.
