And sure Brazil criminality, violence and corruption is over the top. My point is that the numbers are a lot inflated by internal killing between drug gangs. Sure USA numbers can also be inflated. But only looking at numbers can be deceiving.

 

I don´t think so. In fact, Brazil number of murders could potentially be higher than what we´ve seen. Many crimes happen in isolated regions in this country (like mainland North, North-East, Central-West regions), in farms, mines and smaller cities, that sometimes are not even reported to the police. 

It´s just like modern slavery numbers. Reports counts about 1000 people freed from slavery in the country last year, but estimates vary between 25 - 40 thousand people still living in those conditions in the country. It´s not hard to imagine that, considering that cases were found even in our biggest cities.

A lot of numbers about our social conditions are dubious...unfortunately
