In fact, Brazil has the highest reported citizen spending levels on private security in the region & Aguirre, 2013). It is estimated that from 2002 to 2012 the industry grew by 64 percent (Brooks, 2014). This is due in part to the fact that the Brazilian police system has been determined to be uncontrollable and corrupt and the nation has a very high violent crime rate.
