An action or omission which constitutes an offense and is punishable by law is otherwise known as a crime! But some actions in some cities around the world appears to be more dangerous and defiles all the principles of law-abiding, to the extent that crimes here are rarely punished, hence are labeled 'dangerous and violent cities.'
According to metro.co.uk, 50 cities around the world have been labeled most violent cities and 43 of them are in South and Central America. Of all of the cities on the list, 19 are in Brazil, eight are in Mexico, and seven are in Venezuela.
This is according to the ranking released by Mexico’s Citizens’ Council for Public Security. The list was calculated according to the number of homicides recorded in each city out of 100,000 people.
However, the ranking only includes cities with populations of more than 300,000. It also doesn’t include deaths in combat zones or cities with unavailable data – which is why many cities you may expect to see on such a list, such as Aleppo and Mosul, don’t appear.
You still need to watch where you go, when it comes to traveling to these homicide hotspots. The list starts from the last on the list to the 1st and the 'most dangarous!
