Estad\u00edsticas de homicidios reci\u00e9n divulgadas muestran que la violencia sigue aumentando en Venezuela a casi un a\u00f1o del lanzamiento del ataque frontal del gobierno para arrebatar la supremac\u00eda a las organizaciones criminales y acabar con la crisis de seguridad que vive el pa\u00eds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
El Ministerio P\u00fablico anunci\u00f3 que Venezuela registr\u00f3 4.696 homicidios entre enero y marzo de 2016, seg\u00fan informes de AFP<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Esto se compara con los 3.192 homicidios registrados durante el primer trimestre de 2014, seg\u00fan estad\u00edsticas del gobierno<\/a>. No se divulg\u00f3 una cifra total de homicidios del primer trimestre de 2015, pero se indic\u00f3 que la cifra total del a\u00f1o ascendi\u00f3 a 17.778 homicidios<\/a> \u2014un promedio de 1.482 mensuales, que se comparan con 1.565 de los primeros tres meses de 2016.<\/p>\n\n\n\n El Ministerio P\u00fablico atribuy\u00f3 la tasa de homicidios de 2016 a las \u201cpandillas criminales organizadas\u201d del pa\u00eds, inform\u00f3 AFP. Otros funcionarios de gobierno han echado la culpa de la inseguridad a pandillas sofisticadas y a grupos \u201cparamilitares\u201d colombianos<\/a> \u2014afirmaci\u00f3n que se us\u00f3 el a\u00f1o pasado para justificar el lanzamiento de una operaci\u00f3n de seguridad de gran magnitud<\/a> en barrios claves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Dada la larga tradici\u00f3n del gobierno venezolano de no divulgar las estad\u00edsticas de homicidios, este reciente aumento de la transparencia es positivo. No obstante, es evidente que la tendencia prolongada en la escalada de violencia en Venezuela muestra pocas se\u00f1ales de dar marcha atr\u00e1s.<\/p>\n\n\n\n VEA TAMBI\u00c9N:<\/span><\/strong> Noticias y perfiles de Venezuela<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n Las estad\u00edsticas de homicidios de 2016 no reflejan la ofensiva de seguridad de 2015, denominada \u201cOperaci\u00f3n Liberaci\u00f3n y Protecci\u00f3n del Pueblo\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n El despliegue masivo de fuerzas de seguridad en muchos de los barrios m\u00e1s pobres y violentos de Venezuela deb\u00eda quitar el control a las pandillas cada vez m\u00e1s poderosas<\/a>. Sin embargo, como lo documentaron Human Rights Watch<\/a> y los medios de noticias locales<\/a>, la operaci\u00f3n ha tra\u00eddo como consecuencia ejecuciones extrajudiciales a manos de la polic\u00eda y una corriente incesante de denuncias por abusos de los derechos humanos. Tambi\u00e9n puede haber llevado a los grupos criminales a organizarse m\u00e1s <\/a>para hacer frente a las medidas represivas, seg\u00fan indicaron algunos analistas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Las ejecuciones extrajudiciales y de hecho cualquier muerte en la que haya tiroteos de la polic\u00eda quedaron por fuera del conteo de homicidios del gobierno para 2016, lo cual excluye tambi\u00e9n las muertes por causa desconocida. Esto implica que el n\u00famero real de muertes violentas en Venezuela puede ser mucho mayor, como lo reflejan las cifras de organizaciones no gubernamentales como el Observatorio Venezolano de Violencia (OVV<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n Pese a las preocupaciones por los abusos cometidos por las fuerzas de seguridad, parece que la agresiva estrategia para erradicar las pandillas continuar\u00e1. En una operaci\u00f3n reciente en el estado de Aragua, la polic\u00eda y el ej\u00e9rcito se enfrascaron en un prolongado cruce de balas con una pandilla local<\/a> que, seg\u00fan los agentes, ten\u00eda que ver con paramilitares colombianos<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Estad\u00edsticas de homicidios reci\u00e9n divulgadas muestran que la violencia sigue aumentando en Venezuela a casi un a\u00f1o del lanzamiento del ataque frontal del gobierno para arrebatar la supremac\u00eda a las organizaciones criminales y acabar con la crisis de seguridad que vive el pa\u00eds.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":44377,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"newspack_ads_suppress_ads":false,"newspack_popups_has_disabled_popups":false,"newspack_sponsor_sponsorship_scope":"","newspack_sponsor_native_byline_display":"inherit","newspack_sponsor_native_category_display":"inherit","newspack_sponsor_underwriter_style":"inherit","newspack_sponsor_underwriter_placement":"inherit","_EventAllDay":false,"_EventTimezone":"","_EventStartDate":"","_EventEndDate":"","_EventStartDateUTC":"","_EventEndDateUTC":"","_EventShowMap":false,"_EventShowMapLink":false,"_EventURL":"","_EventCost":"","_EventCostDescription":"","_EventCurrencySymbol":"","_EventCurrencyCode":"","_EventCurrencyPosition":"","_EventDateTimeSeparator":"","_EventTimeRangeSeparator":"","_EventOrganizerID":[],"_EventVenueID":[],"_OrganizerEmail":"","_OrganizerPhone":"","_OrganizerWebsite":"","_VenueAddress":"","_VenueCity":"","_VenueCountry":"","_VenueProvince":"","_VenueState":"","_VenueZip":"","_VenuePhone":"","_VenueURL":"","_VenueStateProvince":"","_VenueLat":"","_VenueLng":"","_VenueShowMap":false,"_VenueShowMapLink":false,"_newspack_byline_active":false,"_newspack_byline":"","newspack_hide_updated_date":false,"newspack_show_updated_date":false,"newspack_featured_image_position":"","newspack_post_subtitle":"","newspack_article_summary_title":"Overview:","newspack_article_summary":"","_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[334],"tags":[452,400],"newspack_spnsrs_tax":[],"coauthors":[3660],"class_list":["post-8810","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-noticias-del-dia","tag-homicidios","tag-venezuela-pais","entry"],"parsely":{"version":"1.1.0","canonical_url":"https:\/\/insightcrime.org\/es\/noticias\/noticias-del-dia\/homicidios-venezuela-suben-ofensiva-seguridad\/","smart_links":{"inbound":0,"outbound":0},"traffic_boost_suggestions_count":0,"meta":{"@context":"https:\/\/schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","headline":"Homicidios en Venezuela suben en medio de ofensiva de seguridad","url":"http:\/\/insightcrime.org\/es\/noticias\/noticias-del-dia\/homicidios-venezuela-suben-ofensiva-seguridad\/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"http:\/\/insightcrime.org\/es\/noticias\/noticias-del-dia\/homicidios-venezuela-suben-ofensiva-seguridad\/"},"thumbnailUrl":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/insightcrime.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/es-16-05-04-Venezuela-Murders.jpg?resize=150%2C134&quality=100&ssl=1","image":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/insightcrime.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/es-16-05-04-Venezuela-Murders.jpg?fit=240%2C134&quality=100&ssl=1"},"articleSection":"Noticias del d\u00eda","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Elyssa Pachico"}],"creator":["Elyssa Pachico"],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"InSight Crime","logo":"https:\/\/insightcrime.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/logo.png"},"keywords":["homicidios","venezuela"],"dateCreated":"2016-05-05T00:50:42Z","datePublished":"2016-05-05T00:50:42Z","dateModified":"2023-04-24T20:51:52Z"},"rendered":"\n\n\n\n\n\n\n","tracker_url":"https:\/\/cdn.parsely.com\/keys\/insightcrime.org\/p.js"},"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":177032,"url":"https:\/\/insightcrime.org\/es\/noticias\/balance-insight-crime-homicidios-2021\/","url_meta":{"origin":8810,"position":0},"title":"Balance de InSight Crime de los homicidios en 2021","author":"InSight Crime","date":"1 de febrero de 2022","format":false,"excerpt":"En 2021, la mayor parte de los pa\u00edses de Am\u00e9rica Latina experimentaron un acentuado aumento en los asesinatos.
