1- Venezuela has the highest homicide rate in the continent (followed by Honduras) with 91 violent deaths per 100 thousand inhabitants each year.
2 - The number of illegal firearms that circulate in the country is incalculable, although there are approximate credible figures that are located around 3,500,000. In Venezuela, 93% of homicides are produced by these weapons.
3- Kidnapping and extortion have become criminal activities widely spread throughout the national territory affecting the population of all socioeconomic strata of the country. They are very lucrative tasks that allow to sustain bands that specialize in this type of crime.
.4- Theft and theft of vehicles in Venezuela reached astronomical figures. In the first 9 months of 2017, 8690 thefts and 18,440 vehicle thefts were reported.
5- Venezuela has become the main drug extraction route from Colombia to the rest of the world. Throughout the country circulate, in most cases with the consent of the highest authorities of the State more than 70 tons of cocaine per year, which is then distributed to Mexico, the Caribbean islands and Europe.
6- The loss of institutions has seriously affected the system of administration of criminal justice, which has resulted in almost total impunity in all crimes, reaching levels of up to 96% in homicides and even higher rates in cases of theft, robbery, violations and personal injuries.
There are many more problems that afflict the Venezuelan hope in a second opportunity to break them down, thanks for reading.
