Crime and street violence, although it is a problem in the entire world it has became a dangerous problem in Latin America. Latin America is known as the most violent region in the world. This issue presents itself as a big obstacle for the human rights supporters. Not only preventing citizens from acquiring human rights but also a big problem for the businesses that rely highly on tourism to support their family. The increasing number of crime has scared many tourists from coming to Latin America therefore affecting the economy.
The number one reason for murder or kidnapping is usually related to drugs. The government can no longer fight against these criminals without money and help. The police and highly outnumbered and the small number of people who are police men are not trained properly nor are they equipped properly. The crime has gone far too high that even the police have started to give into the bribes made by the criminals. If this isn’t stopped soon Latin America will be beyond anyone’s help.
