Crime And Police In Brazil

Here you will find a summary of the crime situation in Brazil and learn a little about the areas in which it will be safest to purchase your property.

As in many countries, crime in the poor inner city areas of Sao Paulo and Rio de Janeiro can be a problem in Brazil but these areas are often well patrolled by police.
While crime is often of an organized nature, street crime does exist and you are well advised to exercise extra caution when in these areas. However if you own a property in the surrounding countryside and villages as well as in the prime property investment areas of the north east, life will be peaceful and generally crime-free
