Ahead of a possible visit by @MinSeg’s @PatoBullrich, @InSightCrime has published its “Homicide Roundup,” a grim but helpful annual tradition. The report says #Argentina recorded just 6 killings per 100,000 inhabitants in 2016, compared to 89 in #Venezuela and 60 in #ElSalvador.
Crime in #Argentina is a leading public concern. But @InSightCrime is unimpressed: “Argentina... remains one of the least homicidal countries of the region, despite a heavy if not alarmist government discourse on security and drug trafficking issues.”
