Highlights
This special issue features seven articles among those presented at the workshop “Crime and Perceived Safety in Brazil” (Crime e Percepcao de Seguranca in Brazil) in Campinas, Brazil, in December 2019
They show that high homicide rates constitute a chronic problem in Brazil (Murray et al, 2013), a country where violence is exacerbated by socioeconomic inequalities, racism (Instituto de Pesquisa Economica Aplicada/ FBSP, 2016), and many social problems, including corruption
The other side of the same coin is the problem of tax evasion that is very high in Brazil (Clemente & Lırio, 2018), a problem for society in general that reduces the public budget which could be allocated to the provision of vital services such health, education, and safety
