Organized Crime Attributed to 50% of Latin America’s Homicides

by Dario Migliorini Dec 22, 2023

States of emergency are not a fail-safe solution for addressing homicides linked to organized crime in Latin America. A recent study reveals that organized crime is accountable for at least half of the homicides in Latin America and the Caribbean, regions known for having the world’s highest regional homicide rate.

The United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC) released its 4th Global Study on Homicide, dedicating a section to examining how organized crime contributes to violence in Latin America and the Caribbean.

The study found that the region has the highest proportion of homicides associated with organized crime globally. Additionally, eight out of the top 10 countries with the highest homicide rates worldwide are situated in Latin America and the Caribbean. The average homicide rates in 2021 were 9.3 per 100,000 for South America, 16.9 per 100,000 for Central America, and 12.7 per 100,000 for the Caribbean.

According to the international anti-crime body, much of the violence stems from clashes between criminal factions with easy access to firearms. Despite harsh government crackdowns, the study notes mixed results in reducing bloodshed.

The study underscores a correlation between the presence of multiple criminal groups and rapid spikes in homicidal violence. Complex networks of drug trafficking organizations, street gangs, and militias create a volatile environment where violence can escalate rapidly during clashes between rival groups.

This dynamic is particularly evident in areas with fragmented criminal ecosystems. In countries like Haiti and Trinidad and Tobago, numerous gangs vying for control of illicit economies have led to persistently high homicide rates.

The report also points to the expansion of the international drug trade as a significant factor. Record levels of cocaine production in Peru, Bolivia, and Colombia have fueled violence between local and international criminal groups in neighboring Ecuador, resulting in a sharp increase in homicides. Similarly, Costa Rica has experienced a surge in homicides, primarily due to conflicts between drug gangs vying for control of key cocaine transport hubs.
