Yeah, Brazil is violent, but America has all this countries with less homicide rates, so, US has to get way down the list to become a reference in homicide rates..

You again man!?
Maybe the problem is that you don't do nothing to solve it and are complaining about a thing that doesn't affect you!
Let we Brazilians solve this problem and go take care about yours,but i still thinking you're a revolted Brazilian who thinks is been "SMART" criticizing your own country!

I think you are worrying too much. It is simple: the americans just choose another country to go. It is unfair to compair the richest and powerful country of the world with a third world country (although in great development).
I like Brazil any way, for other many great things and beauties I've heard Japan is one the safest country and I don't want to go there, just doesn't attract me. But if you are looking for safety there is where you should go.

Brazil is a great country, but it does have a big crime problem due to the millions of people who live in poverty and have to resort to crime to survive.

Rio has two Farvelha (slums ) that have 600,000 people each. That is why crime is so high there.

I have been to Brazil on business about 20 times and have many brazilian friends. Every one of them talks about their fear of crime.

And... If you´re in United States, you should be worried with China and terrorists, and not with the violence in Brazil.

Good point sergio , American men are rapists , they have no right to talk about Brazil like that .
