Crime in Venezuela
Crime in Venezuela is a pervasive issue. Venezuela was ranked the most insecure nation in the world by ''Gallup'' in 2013 with the United Nations stating that such crime is due to the poor political and economic environment in the country. The country's murder rate is also one of the highest in the world, with 82 homicides per 100,000 inhabitants.〔http://travel.state.gov/content/passports/en/country/venezuela.html〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://travel.state.gov/travel/cis_pa_tw/cis/cis_1059.html )〕 In 2008, polls indicated that crime was the number one concern of voters. According to Venezuela's Prosecutor General’s Office, 98% of crimes in Venezuela do not result in prosecution.
In 2009 the Venezuelan government created a security force called the Bolivarian National Police and a new Experimental Security University. Human rights groups suggest that the government's policing efforts are too "timid".〔 In May 2013, President Maduro initiated ''Plan Patria Segura'' to reduce crime and provide security throughout the country, though the plan had to be reinitiated a year later after the dismissal of the Minister of the Popular Power for Interior, Justice and Peace.〔〔 According to the United Nations, the Venezuelan government is lacking 20,000 investigative police.〔
==Petty crime and thefts==
Crime rates are higher in 'barrios' or 'ranchos' (slum areas) after dark. Petty crime such as pick-pocketing is prevalent, particularly on public transport in Caracas. As a result of the high levels of crime, Venezuelans were forced to change their ways of life due to the large insecurities they continuously experienced. 2014 ''Gallup'' polls showed that only 19% of Venezuelans felt safe walking alone at night, with nearly one quarter of the respondents stating that they or a household member had money stolen from them in the past year.〔
While Venezuelans were suffering from shortages in Venezuela, the occasional looting of trucks full of goods became more common in the country with the robberies being committed by criminal gangs. Originally, looters would wait for trucks to crash and loot the scene, though recently trucks have been attacked instead. In one incident involving a crashed truck, hundreds of men, women and children looted the vehicle.〔 In July 2015, BBC News stated that due to the common shortages in Venezuela, every week there are videos shared online showing Venezuelans looting supermarkets and trucks for food.
