Ορισμένοι προορισμοί είναι πάρα πολύ επικίνδυνοι...
Εμπόριο ναρκωτικών, ανθρωποκτονίες, ληστείες, δράση συμμοριών και trafficking είναι μόνο μερικά από τα χαρακτηριστικά των πιο βίαιων πόλεων του κόσμου.
Για μια ακόμη χρονιά ο οργανισμός Citizen’s Council for Public Security προχώρησε στην αξιολόγηση πόλεων με περισσότερους από 300.000 κατοίκους, ενώ στη λίστα δεν περιλαμβάνονται περιοχές που βρίσκονται σε εμπόλεμες ζώνες, όπως η Συρία ή η Ουκρανία.
Αξίζει να σημειωθεί ότι από τις 50 πόλεις που περιλαμβάνονται στη λίστα, 38 βρίσκονται στη Λατινική Αμερική, κάτι που οφείλεται σε μεγάλο βαθμό στην εκτεταμένη εμπορία ναρκωτικών και στο οργανωμένο έγκλημα που αποτελούν “διαχρονικές πληγές”.
Στην παρακάτω λίστα θα ρίξουμε μια ματιά στην κορυφαία δεκάδα των πιο βίαιων πόλεων του κόσμου, με βασικό κριτήριο τις ανθρωποκτονίες το 2022.
