La tasa de homicidios de 2013 en Honduras puede reducirse en m\u00e1s del seis por ciento, respecto al a\u00f1o anterior, seg\u00fan datos preliminares, lo cual el gobierno ha atribu\u00eddo a las mejoras en seguridad, pese a que los problemas subyacentes siguen sin resolverse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Seg\u00fan el Observatorio de la Violencia de la Universidad Nacional Aut\u00f3noma de Honduras (UNAH), la tasa de homicidios en Honduras podr\u00eda reducirse a 80 por cada 100.000 habitantes en 2013, de 85,5 por cada 100.000 habitantes en 2012 (tambi\u00e9n seg\u00fan cifras de la UNAH), lo que representa una disminuci\u00f3n del 6,4 por ciento, o una reducci\u00f3n de 5,5 puntos en la tasa, inform\u00f3 El Heraldo<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n La directora del observatorio, Migdonia Ayestas, dijo que la aparente disminuci\u00f3n en la tasa de homicidios se debi\u00f3 a un aumento de la poblaci\u00f3n, y que ten\u00edan la esperanza de ver tambi\u00e9n una disminuci\u00f3n en t\u00e9rminos absolutos. No obstante, dijo que la estad\u00edstica es importante para Honduras, ya que ayudar\u00eda a impulsar el turismo y la econom\u00eda.<\/p>\n\n\n\n El Comisionado Nacional de Derechos Humanos, Ram\u00f3n Custodio, atribuy\u00f3 la reducci\u00f3n<\/a> a la depuraci\u00f3n \u201csistem\u00e1tica\u201d de la fuerza policial, mientras que el Ministro de Defensa Marlon Pascua report\u00f3 una mayor reducci\u00f3n del 12 por ciento en la tasa de homicidios, la cual vincul\u00f3 a los avances en seguridad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Se ha estimado que la violencia relacionada con el crimen en Honduras, atribuida en gran parte a las pandillas callejeras de la MS13 y Barrio 18, le cuesta al pa\u00eds el 10 por ciento del PIB anual<\/a>. En 2012, la UNAH report\u00f3 un a\u00f1o r\u00e9cord de homicidios en Honduras <\/a>en t\u00e9rminos de n\u00fameros reales, con 68 asesinatos m\u00e1s que en 2011, aunque la misma tasa de homicidios baj\u00f3 un punto, de 86,5 homicidios por cada 100.000 habitantes en 2011. La Oficina de las Naciones Unidas contra la Droga y el Delito (ONUDD)<\/a> sit\u00faa la tasa de 2011 en un n\u00famero m\u00e1s elevado: 91,6 homicidios por cada 100.000 habitantes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n En febrero de 2013, Honduras despleg\u00f3 al ej\u00e9rcito a las calles<\/a> de Tegucigalpa, la capital, y San Pedro Sula, la capital mundial de los homicidios. El ej\u00e9rcito inform\u00f3 de una posterior, aunque confusa, reducci\u00f3n en la criminalidad<\/a> y los homicidios en San Pedro Sula<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n A pesar de la reducci\u00f3n prevista en la tasa de homicidios, el pa\u00eds seguir\u00e1 siendo el m\u00e1s violento del mundo para el a\u00f1o 2013, a menos que las tasas en otros pa\u00edses aumenten considerablemente, y Honduras continua haciendo frente a una serie de graves problemas de seguridad. El actual proceso de reforma policial ha llevado a la remoci\u00f3n de 652 funcionarios<\/a>, seg\u00fan cifras del gobierno, pero la corrupta fuerza policial es en s\u00ed misma una fuente importante de violencia, presuntamente responsables de 149 asesinatos extrajudiciales <\/a>en dos a\u00f1os. Adem\u00e1s, la extorsi\u00f3n proveniente de las pandillas a negocios <\/a>y residentes<\/a>, es un problema constante y costoso.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" La tasa de
