Is there a lot of crime in Venezuela?

Answer this Question

We asked people if there is a lot of crime. They answered...

"Well, with the financial climate the way it is you need to be careful with what you carry around with you. There are lots of telephone robberies and bag snatchings. I have lost 2 car batteries in front of the house because I was careless. Other than that, there are not many problems," commented one expat who made the move to Porlamar, Venezuela.

"Yes, there is a lot of crime in Venezuela. The country has one of the highest murder rates in the world, and violent crime is rampant. Kidnappings, robberies, and carjackings are common, and the government has been unable to effectively address the problem. In addition, corruption and organized crime are widespread, and the country has become a major transit point for illegal drugs," remarked another expat in Venezuela.
