True, violence is everywhere. In Rio for example you can get robbed at gun point at any time and everywhere, and I mean it.

But on the other hand you don't hear about teenagers killing their families and shooting school mates.

All the times I got robbed in Brazil was basically because of my own stupidness (and in bright daylight). Stuff like walk around with jewelry, etc. Usually I go to nightclubs about three times per week and I don't come home until 5 or 6 am, and I never had any problems at all.
