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?

Brazil does have very high crime rates, but they also have very high numbers of low-income and urban populations, with widespread corruption and drug use. Crime statistics in Brazil don’t distinguish between victims who are citizens and non-citizens. The New York Times recently published a report of violence in the country, which has also received criticism from Human Rights Watch for not accurately representing the problem of violence in Brazil.
