Almost two months after leaving his position as Minister of Security of Buenos Aires,
Sergio Berni
warned that
"a period of great violence is coming"
because "when there is a drop in income, crime automatically increases."
"That
the situation is increasingly complicated
, have no doubt," Berni emphasized in the midst of a wave of insecurity that has the Buenos Aires suburbs as its protagonist.
In dialogue with La Red radio, the current rector of the University Police Institute Juan Vucetich stated that "
a period of great violence is coming
, because when income goes down, when it is not enough, when a father sees that his children do not have enough to eat, if "He has to go out and steal, he goes out to steal and that generates more violence."
"Why does it generate more violence? Because inequality generates violence but also, those people who start committing crimes to be able to feed their children, enter into crime in an amateur way, which is what is happening today," he argued.
Along these lines, the former Minister of Security of Buenos Aires stated: "In general, poverty is often confused with crime, but scientific work around the world shows that when there is a drop in income, crime automatically increases."
