Crime in Guatemala
Rates of crime in Guatemala are very high. An average of 101 murders per week were reported in 2009, making the country's violent crime rate one of the highest in Latin America.〔"Guatemala: Country-Specific Information". U.S. Department of State (November 23, 2009). Accessed January 18, 2009. .〕 In the 1990s Guatemala had four cities feature in Latin America's top ten cities by murder rate: Escuintla (165 per 100,000), Izabal (127), Santa Rosa Cuilapa (111) and Guatemala City (101).〔WC Prillaman (2003), "(Crime, democracy, and development in Latin America )," ''Policy Papers on the Americas''〕 According to ''New Yorker'' magazine, in 2009, fewer civilians were reported killed in the war zone of Iraq than were shot, stabbed, or beaten to death in Guatemala, and 97% of homicides "remain unsolved."〔 Much of the violent nature of Guatemalan society stems back to a thirty-year-long civil war. However, not only has violence maintained its presence in the post-war context of the country following the Guatemalan Civil War, but it has extended to broader social and economic forms of violence.
== Effects of the Guatemalan Civil War ==
The Guatemalan Civil War began in 1960 between the government and leftist actors, and it resulted in over 200,000 deaths.〔 Sources cite the history of conflict in Guatemala as rendering communities accustomed to violence today, and the extension of incompetent or corrupt state institutions facilitates the impunity associated with such violence. During the civil war, the country witnessed a “generalized fear shaped by state terror and institutional violence.”
