The End of Crime and Violence in Brazil?
In an effort to combat the crime and violence that has plagued Brazil for years, President Lula da Silva this week announced a plan that will earmark significant funds from the upcoming federal budget towards this cause. Nearly US$3.5 billion dollars will be spent over the next five years on anti-corruption initiatives, new prisons, and police training. Only time will tell if this plan, which will be sent to congress by the end of the month, is a step in the right direction or simply Lula's attempt to appeal to frustrated Brazilians who have weathered a number of national setbacks this year.
Brazil has long been viewed as an extremely dangerous country. Locals will tell you that this is blown out of proportion and that you simply need to be cautious (while the murder rate in upscale districts of Rio de Janeiro is comparable to other big cities, the toll in shantytowns rises to around 250 per 100,000, a rate rivaling many war zones), although recent violence may change their views. Keep in mind that their idea of cautious is much stricter than our own. For instance, it is typical to not stop at a red light after dark for safety reasons. It is also commonplace to not wear expensive jewelry or display other items of wealth in public as they will immediately identify a target. As a tourist, you will be even more susceptible to these problems, especially if someone notices you are struggling with the language. Don't be so worried as to not leave the hotel and enjoy your stay, but always practice caution in your actions while traveling thoughout Brazil.
