BRAZIL-CRIME-VIOLENCE-FAVELAS-SHANTYTOWNS

Men walk by an old police post in the Santa Marta favela, the first to be pacified by the Pacifier Police Unit (Unidade Pacificadora da Policia, UPP) state programme to secure poor communities by forcing drug traffickers out of shantytowns, in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, on September 12, 2017. In 2010, Santa Marta had become a symbol of a new police policy known as "pacification" that ousted traffickers and brought in tourists, but in the wake of the 2016 Rio Olympics, control over the favelas has again begun to slip away from the police and into the hands of well-armed drug gangs. / AFP PHOTO / Apu Gomes (Photo credit should read APU GOMES/AFP via Getty Images)
