  • Crime and violence affect the lives of millions of people in Latin America. Some consider social inequality to be a major contributing factor to levels of violence in Latin America, where the state fails to prevent crime and organized crime takes over State control in areas where the State is unable to assist the society such as in impoverished communities. In the years following the transitions from authoritarianism to democracy, crime and violence have become major problems in Latin America. The region experienced more than 2.5 million murders between 2000 and 2017. Several studies indicated the existence of an epidemic in the region; the Pan American Health Organization called violence in Latin America "the social pandemic of the 20th century." Apart from the direct human cost, the rise in crime and violence has imposed significant social costs and has made much more difficult the processes of economic and social development, democratic consolidation and regional integration in the Americas.

  • El crimen y la violencia afectan la vida de millones de personas en América Latina. Algunos consideran que la desigualdad social es un factor importante que contribuye a los niveles de violencia en América Latina, donde el Estado no logra prevenir el crimen y el crimen organizado toma el control del Estado en áreas donde el Estado no puede ayudar a la sociedad, como en comunidades empobrecidas. En los años posteriores las transiciones del autoritarismo a la democracia, el crimen y la violencia se han convertido en grandes problemas en América Latina. La región experimentó más de 2,5 millones de asesinatos entre 2000 y 2017 varios estudios indicaron la existencia de una epidemia en la región; la Organización Panamericana de la Salud llamó a la violencia en América Latina "la pandemia social del siglo XX". Además del costo humano directo, el aumento del crimen y la violencia ha impuesto importantes costos sociales y ha dificultado mucho más los procesos de desarrollo económico y social, consolidación democrática e integración regional en las Américas.​ (es)
