Crime in Brazil involves an elevated incidence of violent and non-violent crimes.[1] According to most sources, Brazil possesses high rates of violent crimes, such as murders and robberies; depending on the source (UNDP or World Health Organization), Brazil's homicide rate is 20-30 homicides per 100,000 inhabitants according to the UNODC,[2] placing Brazil in the top 20 countries by intentional homicide rate.[3] In recent times, the homicide rate in Brazil has been stabilizing at a relatively high level.[4]
Brazil is a heavy importer of cocaine, as well as part of the international drug routes.[5] Arms and marijuana employed by criminals are mostly locally produced.[5][6]
