It's unsafe because police presence is pretty low and the mentality is that crime is cool, a way of life and also supported by brazilian media (Soap Operas), while there are some people who are law-abiding, honest cops and people too afraid to make a move, the police force also has some corruption in it, going side by side with trafficking and extorting favela residents for protection money and terrorizing with the bandits, specially in places like Rio de Janeiro.
