La tasa de homicidios en Jamaica alcanz\u00f3 un alarmante nivel en 2015 \u2014el m\u00e1s alto de los \u00faltimos cinco a\u00f1os\u2014, y se cree que este repunte est\u00e1 relacionado con las violentas rivalidades entre redes de estafas de loter\u00eda.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Los cuerpos de polic\u00eda locales de Jamaica han se\u00f1alado que en 2015 hubo por lo menos 1.192 asesinatos, la mayor\u00eda de los cuales est\u00e1n relacionados con la violencia entre pandillas, inform\u00f3 Associated Press (AP). <\/a>Esto representa un aumento de casi el 20 por ciento con respecto a 2014, cuando se presentaron 1.005 asesinatos en total \u2014el nivel m\u00e1s bajo desde 2003\u2014.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Con una poblaci\u00f3n de unos 2,7 millones de habitantes, la tasa de homicidios en Jamaica ascendi\u00f3 a 45 por cada 100.000 habitantes en 2015, por lo que el pa\u00eds mantiene el r\u00e9cord nefasto como uno de los pa\u00edses m\u00e1s violentos del mundo. El ministro de Seguridad Nacional, Peter Bunting, quien se ha propuesto el ambicioso objetivo de reducir los asesinatos anuales a 320 en 2017, dijo que los funcionarios \u201cno se sentir\u00e1n descorazonados ni intimidados por este percance.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sin embargo, las estad\u00edsticas de cr\u00edmenes en el pa\u00eds incluyen algunos signos esperanzadores: aunque los asesinatos aumentaron el a\u00f1o pasado, se produjo una disminuci\u00f3n en otros cr\u00edmenes, como las violaciones, los asaltos agravados, los robos y los hurtos, seg\u00fan inform\u00f3 AP.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

An\u00e1lisis de InSight Crime<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Las autoridades han atribuido <\/a>el dram\u00e1tico aumento de los homicidios en Jamaica durante 2015 a los enfrentamientos entre redes rivales dedicadas a estafas de loter\u00eda<\/a> en la isla naci\u00f3n caribe\u00f1a. Las estafas de loter\u00eda son una forma de fraude que consiste en ponerse en contacto con las v\u00edctimas por tel\u00e9fono o correo electr\u00f3nico, con la falsa promesa de haberse ganado una loter\u00eda, cuyo premio se puede reclamar s\u00f3lo despu\u00e9s de que la v\u00edctima ha enviado dinero por adelantado.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

VEA TAMBI\u00c9N<\/strong><\/span>: Cobertura sobre Jamaica<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

En Jamaica, las redes rivales de estafas de loter\u00eda al parecer est\u00e1n compitiendo por el control del dinero y de las listas de posibles v\u00edctimas (\u201clead lists\u201d en ingl\u00e9s), las cuales contienen datos personales de miles de blancos potenciales, principalmente en Estados Unidos. Con una buena lista de n\u00fameros telef\u00f3nicos, se ha estimado <\/a>que un estafador puede ganar m\u00e1s de US$1.000 en varios d\u00edas. En 2013, The Wall Street Journal <\/a>inform\u00f3 que los estafadores jamaiquinos recibieron mil millones de d\u00f3lares de v\u00edctimas en Estados Unidos \u2014a menudo personas mayores que sufren demencia\u2014 en un lapso de cuatro a\u00f1os. (Vea el diagrama del Wall Street Journal abajo).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"\/<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Las acciones para combatir el problema han sido dif\u00edciles. Hasta ahora, pocos ciudadanos jamaiquinos han sido extraditados <\/a>a Estados Unidos por cargos de fraude de loter\u00eda \u2014un proceso lento y complicado, que pocas veces termina en condenas<\/a>\u2014. Para ayudar a reducir la creciente tasa de homicidios en Jamaica, las autoridades de Estados Unidos y Jamaica necesitar\u00e1n hacer mayores esfuerzos y establecer m\u00e1s cooperaci\u00f3n para desmantelar las redes de fraude de loter\u00eda, responsabilizando a los autores y desincentivando esta nefasta actividad.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
