Earlier in the year the police went on strike in Bahia, Brasil .... and the murder rate went from unacceptably hight to 'astronomic'.
The impact on non-homicide crime is unrecorded.
Whenever police 'take time off' (like in the London riots) communities revert to their primitive behaviour - anti-social lawlessness.

Perhaps the Brasilian Federal Police were just having a dry run for the Olympics and the World Cup.
