Mexican crime hits record levels, report finds
Tagged: crime, MexicoPosted on: September 25th, 2007“Gangland-style slayings and kidnappings reached record levels in Mexico during the first half of the year, a new report from Mexico’s Congress has found, making Mexico one of the world’s most dangerous countries.
One analyst who worked on the report said Mexico’s homicide rate now tops all others in the Western Hemisphere.
“In a global context, we suffer from more homicides, that is to say, violent deaths, than any other region in the world except for certain regions on the African continent,” said Eduardo Rojas, who helped put together the crime report at the Center for Social and Public Opinion Studies, a research arm of the Mexico’s Chamber of Deputies.”
