Daniel Ponton: “In Latin America, for a long time, we have measured the highest homicide rates in the world’ Ecuador had very low crime rates despite its proximity to Peru and Colombia, which suffered from the activity of powerful guerrillas. The fear is that this deterioration could spread to other countries with the connections between different organized crime groups.
For example, in Chile, crime rates have increased significantly. This may be associated with the mass migration of Venezuelans for several years, such as in Peru.
