While several international media predicted a catastrophe of crime and murders, Brazil proved that more weapons and more spending on security means fewer deaths. According to official data for 2021 published by government statistics agencies, the homicide rate has fallen to the lowest number in 15 years.
Since January 1, 2019, the day Bolsonaro arrived in Brasília, homicides have fallen 34% to 18.5 homicides per 100,000 inhabitants. These numbers imply that in his 4 years in office, the right-wing president's measures have saved more than 20,000 lives that would have been killed by crime.
According to official data, in 2018, there were 55,980 homicides in Brazil, before Bolsonaro came to power. After his first year in the Palácio do Planalto, this number dropped to 45,503 homicides, exactly 10,477 homicides less.
In 2020, the number managed to stay at the same level, with about 47,722 homicides, about 8,258 homicides less than before he came to power. In 2021, the number fell again, and only 41,069 homicides were recorded, the lowest number since 2007. This number was 14,911 homicides less than during Temer's government.
This 2022 is not yet over, but it is estimated that for the first time since the 1990s there will be less than 40,000 homicides, a country where violence and criminality dominated the last 20 years of Brazilian life.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://derechadiario.com.ar/latinoamerica/latinoamerica_brasil/las-medidas-de-seguridad-de-bolsonaro-salvaron-mas-de-20-000-vidas-desde-su-llegada-a-la-presidencia-en-brasil|title=Las medidas de seguridad de Bolsonaro salvaron más de 20.000 vidas desde su llegada a la presidencia en Brasil|publisher=La Derecha Diario|date=October 28, 2022|language=es}}</ref>
