Rachel Brownell on 15 Oct 10This reputable New York Times article is by regular contributor Jens Erik Gould who has firsthand knowledge as a correspondent in Venezuela. It asserts that Latin America's high crime/murder rate impairs economic growth. It was published a few years ago (October 17, 2006) but is full of well-cited, very illuminating facts and convincing evidence that still seems relevant. A solid, detailed source I recommend.
