Preferred term

crime and violence in Latin America  

Definition

  • Plenty of anecdotal evidence suggests that Latin America is one of the most violent regions in the world. It is difficult to establish this rigorously, however, because most official crime statistics are not totally accurate. [Source: Encyclopedia of Crime and Punishment; Latin America, Crime and Violence in]
