Prepubescent drug gangs in Rio are involved in an estimated 90 percent of all the city's violent crimes. Hundreds of drug dealers operate in the hillside slums ringing the city. A popular activity for the teens these days is setting street people on fire. During a two-month period in 1997, street kids set at least four people ablaze, killing all of them.
