Summary

Brazil has the World Cup next month. But Brazil also has one of the world`s highest murder rates. In 2012, the UN office on Drugs and Crime said 25.2 people are killed per 100,000 population.

So Brazilian police have put together a phamphlet of top tips for staying safe during the World Cup next month. In those phamplet they suggest such as making sure not to scream if someone tries to rob you. If you say this simply, it`ll be “Do not react, scream or argue.“

Opinion

Ofcource, I can understand why Brazilian police suggest like “Do not react, scream or argue”. The idea is apparently to warn visitors not to provoke robbers into further violence, and avoid the increasingly common crime.

But, tourists come from all over the world(in this article it says tourists come mainly from Europe and the United States), and I think the those kind of people do not see this crime very often in their countries. So, not to react, scream or argue if they are robbed will be a severe suggestion to them.

At no sistant date, the World Cup will be held in Brazil. I think that Brazilian police find another way to do the World Cup safely. And it`ll be the biggest issue for Brazil.
