More than one million people were murdered in Brazil between 1980 and 2011, making it the world's seventh most violent country

7th most violent? Who are the other 6?

seventh among the world's most violent nations after El Salvador, the US Virgin Islands, Trinidad and Tobago, Venezuela, Colombia and Guatemala.

I am not sure why they consider the U.S. Virgin Islands to be a separate country.

These “studies” are often questionable. Another source lists eight African countries with higher rates than Brazil.

I think much depends on reporting and definitions.
