Colombia, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras y Venezuela tuvieron tasas de homicidio de m\u00e1s de 30 por cada 100.000 habitantes en el a\u00f1o m\u00e1s reciente con estad\u00edsticas disponibles, mientras que M\u00e9xico, Brasil, Panam\u00e1, Ecuador, Paraguay y Rep\u00fablica Dominicana tuvieron tasas superiores a 10 por 100.000.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Las tasas de homicidios en muchos pa\u00edses de Latinoam\u00e9rica se estabilizaron o incluso disminuyeron ligeramente desde 2005 hasta 2011, pero algunos casos at\u00edpicos experimentaron un aumento general. La tasa de homicidios de Honduras aument\u00f3 abruptamente, de un significativo 50 por 100.000 en 2005 a 86 por 100.000 en 2011, seg\u00fan un funcionario de la ONU<\/a>; mientras que en El Salvador oscil\u00f3 entre 50 y 75 en esos a\u00f1os, antes de caer bruscamente en 2012. Las tasas de homicidios tambi\u00e9n aumentaron durante gran parte del per\u00edodo en M\u00e9xico, Panam\u00e1, Argentina y Bolivia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n El aumento de las tasas de homicidios en Latinoam\u00e9rica est\u00e1n inextricablemente vinculadas con el crimen organizado y el narcotr\u00e1fico. Durante el per\u00edodo de tiempo estudiado, los aumentos m\u00e1s agudos* se registraron en M\u00e9xico, donde las tasas se dispararon despu\u00e9s de 2007, y en Centroam\u00e9rica, donde la tasa de homicidios casi se duplic\u00f3<\/a>. En M\u00e9xico, el aumento coincide con el entonces ataque frontal del presidente Felipe Calder\u00f3n contra los carteles de la droga, mientras que en Centroam\u00e9rica coincide con los cambios en las rutas de tr\u00e1fico, siendo ahora la regi\u00f3n la principal ruta para la coca\u00edna que se mueve hacia Estados Unidos. Algunos de los pa\u00edses tradicionalmente menos violentos de la regi\u00f3n, como Argentina y Bolivia, tambi\u00e9n registraron alzas significativas que coinciden con su creciente importancia para los grupos de narcotraficantes<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n No obstante, no es s\u00f3lo el narcitr\u00e1fico transnacional el que contribuye al aumento de la violencia. La \u00faltima d\u00e9cada tambi\u00e9n ha visto a las pandillas callejeras, como las maras en Centroam\u00e9rica, expandir su influencia, que, como se muestra en El Salvador<\/a>, son los principales motores de la violencia en algunos pa\u00edses. Muchos pa\u00edses tambi\u00e9n han sido testigos de una explosi\u00f3n en las redes criminales violentas enfocadas en delitos dom\u00e9sticos lucrativos como el microtr\u00e1fico<\/a>, la extorsi\u00f3n<\/a> y el secuestro<\/a>. Mientras tanto, la guerrilla y los movimientos insurgentes en pa\u00edses como Colombia, Per\u00fa, Paraguay y M\u00e9xico tambi\u00e9n han seguido alimentando la violencia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n *Un desglose
