This article is clearly biased. -- 201.69.46.220 (talk) 11:28, 16 February 2008 (UTC)

It's not biased. What our eyes are still able to see is a really bad picture created by the actual situation and supported by the statistical data. The crime rates are really high in Brazil. Yodaki (talk) 00:23, 17 February 2008 (UTC)

The information like "crime in Brazil has a high rate" are properly cited. Otolemur crassicaudatus (talk) 23:57, 20 February 2008 (UTC)

We need a careful study with various countries, to verify it. The sources claiming that "Brazil has a high rate" seems not to be reliable. Carlosguitar ^{(Yes Executor?)} 17:49, 6 April 2008 (UTC)

The claim is supported by Bureau of Consular Affairs which is a reliable source. Bureau of Consular Affairs states "Crime throughout Brazil has reached very high levels". Otolemur crassicaudatus (talk) 18:09, 29 April 2008 (UTC)

It is not a reliable source just because Bureau of Consular Affairs states it. What is normal and low level of crime? How they measured that Brazil has very high level of crime? Brazil has a very high level of crime compared to what? We need the criteria to verify it and Bureau of Consular Affairs are not explaining how they measured it. If Brazil has high level of homicide rate then we must add the homicide rate, not simply throw that Brazil has high rate of crime. Carlosguitar ^{(Yes Executor?)} 20:41, 2 May 2008 (UTC)
