I would like to do a correction, I said that Brazil is among the top ten countries with the highest intentional homicide rate, but I was wrong, actually our country is among the top fifteen. Below is the list with the deadliest countries of the world, the data is from: UNODC, 2004.

6º Lesotho 37.3 14º Zimbabwe 32.0
7º Venezuela 37.0 15º Brazil 30.8

In Europe, the highest intentional homicide rate is from Russia 29.7, after comes Ukraine 12.0
In this another list, the data is from: laspblog.blogspot.com,2008, is the highest homicide rate among the Brazilian state capitals, and the second list, the safest, in the source, there were not numbers for the safest.
