MOST parts of the world are getting safer. Not Latin America and the Caribbean, where the murder rate rose by 11% in 2000-10. This “epidemic of violence”, as the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) calls it in a new report, has gone hand in hand with an increase in crime in general and in the fear of it.

Murder rates vary widely between and within countries, and in some cases have fallen (eg, in Colombia and more recently in Guatemala and El Salvador). Nevertheless, a poll commissioned for the report suggests that nearly two-thirds of Latin Americans avoid going out at night for fear of crime, and one in eight (about 75m people) has moved house in order to feel safer.Some of the factors behind this...
