The most dangerous cities in the world

Wow, no wonder my brother saw bodies hanging from a bridge in Los Cabos. It’s gotten WAY worse.
Colombian and Honduran cities dropped significantly, good to see. But Brazil still seems messed. Never been there, want to go, but not at this point.
I think in most cases, if you’re aware and an avid traveller, you will be fine, but why go to particularly dangerous countries?

I guess the peak is due to a one-off cartel turf war for the control of a precise city/region. Today n°1 is Los Cabos (maybe a turf war between the Sinaloa and Tijuana cartels, or between rival factions of Guzman’s organization ?), and next semester could be Chihuahua. Violence in brasilian cities is much more "structural".

Fuck this chart, what about the countries where murders aren't even reported.

Los Cabos is more dangerous than Kabul, Baghdad or Mogadishu? Seems legit.

It's good to know that I am safer in any city in the Democratic Republic of Congo than I am in many cities in the Americas.

War zones (Iraq, Syria, Afghanistan, Libya, etc.) are excluded (and don't have accurate statistics either)

I love how most of the most dangerous cities are in Canada.

The thread is titled most dangerous but the chart is actually most violent.
Cops are vigilant in America, so most of the crime is contained in certain neighborhoods. No large American city is as dangerous as anywhere in Latin America.
The most dangerous cities in America are the smaller really poor African-American cities. See Flint Mich, Camden NJ or Chester Pa. for some examples.
I only went to Camden when I needed some shit bum wine like Wild Irish Rose or Thunderbird.

I heard Flint is no 1 in USA.
South Chicago, Philadelphia, Compton also known for crime

Despite all the omissions, reminds me of Jordan Peterson's talk on inequality promoting crime. Couldn't be clearer by this map.

< I think that the ones doing the map classified simply most African countries as war zones. Even estimations of many countries would make many South American ones look tame and safe in comparison.

< The problem is that Acapulco was the Monte Carlo of the Americas just some 35 years ago, so what happened so fast to put it on that list? What can be done, can also be undone albeit at much greater difficulty.

The study did not include active war zones. It specifically mentioned that the listed cities were not engaged in any formal conflict or war so the Middle East and many parts of Africa would not be included.

I blame it on the Hemisphere Emergency Action Team. Once they moved out, the narcos moved in.
My mom used to watch this show. I guess I was too young too appreciate the skin.
Joking aside, I think a lot had to do with narcos in Colombia getting busted about post-Escobar and a lot of the operations moving north.
