I just read about yet another robbery and rape in Brazil, which has the highest rates of robbery and rape in the world. Why are Brazilians so violent?

Violence in Brazil is rooted in a complex mixture of historical, political, economic, social and cultural factors. On a macro level, much of the violence is related to the country’s high levels of inequality, poverty and unemployment. Social discontent has caused Brazilians to become more resigned to living in societies where police presence is weak and rule of law is not respected. On an individual level, violence against women and girls remains high due to a combination of entrenched gender roles, impunity for perpetrators, and a lack of access to justice and support services. Brazilians must make significant progress in these areas in order to tackle the root causes of the country’s violence.
