Brochure on Citizen Security in Latin America and the Caribbean

December 10, 2014

Citizen insecurity is the cause and consequence of development problems confronting Latin America and the Caribbean. Despite its economic growth, the region continues to be the most unequal on the planet, as well as being one of the most violent.

According to the Human Development Report for Latin America 2013-2014: Citizen Security with a Human Face, Latin America is the only region in the world where lethal violence increased between 2000 and 2010, and its citizens identified crime and violence as their main concern.
