Comment Comment by leovonl It makes zero sense to look at nationwide average for Brazil to draw any conclusions without looking at per-state or per-region data.Northern region has places with 60+ homicide rate, southern region has places with 3-4 homicide rate.Take a look at this article: https://pt.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lista_de_unidades_federativa...And this map with some of the highest/lowest homicide rates: http://55ca7cd0-f8ac-0132-1185-705681baa5c1.s3-website-sa-ea...Both in Portuguese but I think it's not hard to make sense of the numbers (rate is 1/100k, map colours describe increase/decrease in violence, bottom lines show current top/bottom rates in cities with 100k+ residents). parent leovonl 8 years ago
Northern region has places with 60+ homicide rate, southern region has places with 3-4 homicide rate.

And this map with some of the highest/lowest homicide rates: http://55ca7cd0-f8ac-0132-1185-705681baa5c1.s3-website-sa-ea...
Both in Portuguese but I think it's not hard to make sense of the numbers (rate is 1/100k, map colours describe increase/decrease in violence, bottom lines show current top/bottom rates in cities with 100k+ residents).
