The 50 Most Violent Cities In The World
Business Insider ^ | 11/28/2013 | PAMELA ENGEL, CHRISTINA STERBENZ AND GUS LUBIN

Drug trafficking, gang wars, political instability, corruption, and poverty have combined to make Latin America by far the most homicidal region of the world. The region has 40% of the world's murders, despite having only 8 percent of the population, according to the U.N.

The highest murder rate of all is in San Pedro Sula, Honduras, with 169 homicides per 100,000 people, according to a study published earlier this year by Mexico's Citizens' Council for Public Security and Criminal Justice. The ranking is based on 2012 data, except for San Pedro Sula and Distrito Central in Honduras, where authorities would not cooperate and 2011 data was used.

The study does not count deaths in a war zone or cities where data was not available.

Forty-one of the top 50 dangerous cities are located in Latin America. U.S. cities also made the list, lead by New Orleans at 17th, along with Detroit, St. Louis, Baltimore, and Oakland.

50) Barranquilla, Colombia had 29.41 homicides per 100,000 residents.

49) Brasilia, Brazil had 29.73 homicides per 100,000 residents.

48) Belo Horizonte, Brazil had 29.74 homicides per 100,000 residents.

47) Monterrey, Mexico had 30.85 homicides per 100,000 residents.

46) Durban, South Africa had 30.94 homicides per 100,000 residents.

45) Macapá, Brazil had 32.06 homicides per 100,000 residents.

44) San Salvador, El Salvador had 32.48 homicides per 100,000 residents.

43) Oakland, United States had 33.10 homicides per 100,000 residents.

42) Curitiba, Brazil had 34.08 homicides per 100,000 residents.

41) Baltimore, United States had 35.03 homicides per 100,000 residents.

40) St. Louis, United States had 35.39 homicides per 100,000 residents.

39) Maracaibo, Venezuela had 35.44 homicides per 100,000 residents.

38) Nelson Mandela Bay, South Africa had 36.02 homicides per 100,000 residents.

37) Pereira, Colombia had 36.13 homicides per 100,000 residents.

“Hmmmm I detect a common thread in most of these cities.”

Yep. Dark populations. Like I say, if there’s a question or problem, Einsatzgruppen is the answer.

Saint Louis doesn’t surprise me. Hell, the “knock out” appears to have originated here. I live across the river in Illinois, where in the East Saint Louis area, some 20 cops and other law enforcement types have been accused of drug trafficking and in a couple of instances, murder.

"Hey kids, you noticing all the plight?"

*Gun shot* *Scream*

"Roll 'em up."

Brasilia's problem was that they recruited hundreds of thousands of illiterate and semiliterate peasants from the northeast of Brazil to build the place. After construction was done, the jobs were gone, but the migrants stayed. Still has the highest per capita income of any city in Brazil, and the center city is very safe.

Surprised to see Curitiba on the list. the center city is as clean and well-organized as Vancouver. It's the suburbs where all the "trash" has been dumped where most of the murders take place.

I live in Sao Paulo. You can’t stroll around like a hayseed at night in most places, but if you insulate yourself like the better off locals (drive to mall, drive to restaurant, drive to theatre, etc) you will be OK.

Blacks are 80% of Jackson population

Trust me

Black on white crime dwarfs the reverse exponentially

There have not been any white on black attacks since early 60s to speak...maybe one or two

Meanwhile 1000s and 1000s of black on Whits crime

Its an epidemic there

The Times is simply Pravda ...its crazy

Did you ever think we would ever have such a captured media

Without a real media a republic cannot function

Sad times

The soft race war has been upon us for years...

Brasilia is majority minority...they moved in quick

Govt officials don’t live there 365....they commute more or less per session

Great post, Mick. It’s about the CULTURE. Even very poor 3rd world nations can have a strong culture that respects personal freedom and safety.

Or a rich but declining former “superpower” can have a totally toxic “culture” like ours.

Yes indeed. The MSM hates that the new alternate media is getting the truth out, even if only to a small % of the population.

The rest are tuned in to “Kardashian Nation” or sports channels 24/7.

The report is not worth the paper it is written on if it does no mention Chicago.

With its huge population, most of Chicago is actually safe. It's the small handful of black and hispanic neighborhoods that are literal war zones and contribute almost entirely to the violent crime that leads headlines.

Incidentally, I couldn't help but notice something common about almost all the names of "white" murder victims on the link you provided.
