The types of crimes that are committed in each country depend on many factors. Geographic, social, economic or cultural, the crime rate of each Nation will always be linked to these types of characteristics. What are the most common in Argentina?
A report published by the Institute for Economy and Peace In the year 2023, he warned that the Argentine Republic is one of the Latin American countries that registers lower crime ratenext to Costa Rica, Uruguay and Chili. However, there are several types of crimes that worry the population.
This is mainly justified by the fact that the report in question highlighted a key fact that has to do with the low rate of intentional homicides committed in the country, with a rate of 4.2 intentional homicides per 100,000 inhabitants. However, Argentines must deal, especially, with insecurity problems, among some other common crimes.
In that sense, although intentional homicides register a low rate, the same does not happen with manslaughter, mainly as a result of traffic accidents. The same happens with intentional crimes As the theft (when there is no violence against people) and the heist (when there is violence).
The crime map is particularly serious in some parts of the province of Buenos Aires such as The slaughter, Quilmes and San Martin. According to some of the latest statistics, 54,257 “events” occurred during 2021 alone and half of them could have been prevented with patrol, investigation and criminal intelligence.
Currently, outside of Buenos Aires, drug trafficking in Rosario has become a problem of national concern. The criminal business in the third largest city in the country, in addition to generating bloody waves of violence, moves more than 100 million dollars a year.
