For the sake of comparison, Statista presents several crime clearance rates in the USA. These are national averages. Murder and homicides have the most at 54.4%. Most crimes have an extremely low clearance rate (to my shock). A person steal a car and the likelihoods are in your favor that you will never be caught. Incredible.

IT depends. The traficante though deemed as evil drug dealing menace to society actually keep crime down in the communidades. There are police "substations" in the favels for the most part and if a favelado kills another it will most likely be investigated if the victim was not a traficante. Most of the people in the game end up disappearing and no one knows what happened to them.

This just was reported here in Zona Sul. 22 of the dudes admitted to killing the man for virtually peanuts in cash. But this is ONE instance where they will be procesuted, maybe....
The other 56% of the homicides they just cut off the perpetrators hand or other bodily parts to teach them a lesson. Or they just throw them in jail and throw away the keys. Until the time comes for them to be released. Then something else. Let go. Or they die. Old age. If they don't have the keys, they just broke down the jail cell and let them loose.

TV (COPS, etc) always made it seem like criminals were always caught. That was the message we got - that crime doesn't pay. No matter what, there was going to be some hair fibers or footprints that would link you to the crime and you would be caught.
No. Most people get away with crimes. They can't even track stolen cars.
You should look at homicide prosecution rates in Mexico. Makes Brazil look like a utopian police state haha. It’s got Cancun though so it gets a pass.
