This chapter reports on findings of two small sample surveys covering aspects of crime, safety and crime prevention practices in rural areas in Brazil. The first survey targeted the entire population of a small rural municipality in Minas Gerais state while the second one is a convenience sample of farmers across the country. The chapter provides a glimpse of the most pressing safety issues and calls for further research to unravel the safety challenges faced by those living in rural areas in one of the largest countries in South America.
