The Most Dangerous Cities in the World-World Hot Events
Honorable viewers, welcome to my world
hot events blog. This blog was created to provide the knowledge about the
significant events, notables, places, and amazing things that happened around
the world. Now,
let’s come to main point.
When planning your next trip, you may want to avoid
some of the cities we’re about to mention. In 2017, they ranked among the
world’s most dangerous places
on the basis of murder cases per capita.
on the basis of murder cases per capita.
The World’s Most Dangerous Cities
Los Cabos, Mexico
is the most dangerous city in the world with a murder rate of 111.33 per
100,000 people. This city's position on the list of the world's most dangerous
cities is indicative of the increase in crime that Mexico has experienced over
the last year. In 2017 and 2018, the resort town of Los Cabos has made
headlines news for a string of alarming murders. The majority of the violence
in Los Cabos has mostly been related to the drug trade, and tourists have not
been the target. Nonetheless, the instances of violence are still drastic, and
have earned the popular vacation destination a spot on the top of the list of
the world's most dangerous cities.
Caracas, Venezuela,
is the second most dangerous city in the world. With 111.19 murders per 100,000
people, it formerly claimed the top spot. In third place is Acapulco, Mexico,
with 106.63 murders per 100,000 people. Violence brought on by drug trafficking
and organized gangs have been blamed for the relentless violence in these
cities, although the factors are generally quite complicated. Unfortunately,
none of these cities are strangers to the top three positions, except for maybe
the resort town of Acapulco, which violence from other regions of the country
has been spilling into in recent years.
The Most Dangerous Cities in the United States
Four
cities in the United States are counted the among the world's most
dangerous. The cities are, in descending order of homicide rates, St. Louis,
Missouri (65.83), Baltimore, Maryland (55.48), New Orleans, Louisiana (40.10)
and Detroit, Michigan (39.69). In the United States, the relaxed laws
surrounding gun ownership is often subject of much debate. In the United States,
gun violence is responsible for tens of thousands of deaths nationwide
annually.
One city that is a notable omission from the list is
Chicago. Although the city of Chicago has had a reputation for crime in recent
years, its homicide rate is 27.22 murders per 100,000 residents. It is
important to note that although the city of Chicago experienced an overall
decrease in violent crime in the early 2000s, as of the 2010s crime again seems
to be on an incline. A full report of the most dangerous cities in the United
States can be found here.
