Q. I am having problems finding the crime rate, and stats for the amount of violence in Botswana. What do you suggest?

Take a look at a few of these links:

http://www.nationmaster.com/country/bc-botswana/cri-crime

http://www-rohan.sdsu.edu/faculty/rwinslow/africa/botswana.html

and then take a look at the sources they cite. From there, Google the sources (or organizations that conducted the research) and try to find more statistical surveys.
