“The big increase in murders in Uruguay”
“the Murders in Uruguay increased by 35 per cent in the last year, from 283 murders in the 2017 to 382 murders in 2018, the newspaper El País.”
“the Government declares a large portion of the increase, with infighting between criminal gangs. Analysts describe the country as one of the safest in the region, and as a country, as criminals often seek to avoid violence.”
“the Increase means that the number of murders per 100 000 inhabitants now amounts to 11.2 – to be compared with an average of 22 murders per 100 000 inhabitants in the countries of Latin america and the Caribbean in 2017.”
“Uruguay’s unemployment and inflation is on the rise.”
