High Crime Stifles Latin Economies - NYTimes.com - 1 views

  •  
    This 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.

Latin America has world's highest murder rate - 1 views

  •  
    Published May 14th 2010, this article has no single author but instead has the semi-obscure organization's name in the byline: "Big News Network.com." It summarizes an Organization of American States (OAS) report on global crime rates but has no link to this source. Also, the low-quality graphics and overall site design, big font, and low-level grammar are a little suspicious.
