The main causes of violence increase -recorded in Venezuela from the very moment former President, Hugo Chávez first took office back in 1999- were found by researcher Roberto Briceño León. He indicates that they encompass institutional breakdown in regards to coexistence rules and values, encouraged by the Venezuelan Government. In his view, the government reduced punishment of the underworld, justified expressions of violence and therefore promoted impunity. Such "subversive" behavior furthered by the Government was led by an ideological and political motivation and the need to remain in office. The government would construe violence as "class struggle" and took a "non-repression" stance of an evil that now seems difficult to curb.

Situations which demonstrate the power exercised by "prans" (prison gang bosses) from jails; the public exhibition of their weapons on social networks; the impunity of armed groups and gangs that allows them to operate freely and to delight themselves showing off their weapons publicly, and squat of property under the aegis of public officers and the Bolivarian Armed Forces (FANB) constitute a share of the institutional breakdown witnessed in Venezuela.

Government's backers claim that the phenomenon of violence is attributed to the inheritance of capitalism, poverty and the influence of media and imperialism.

A research entitled "Violence and Institutionalization," conducted by a group of researchers from NGO Venezuelan Observatory of Violence (OVV), shows by means of the violence rate how Venezuela, despite the huge oil income which allowed it to implement social policies for the poorest sectors became one of the most violent countries, whereas neighboring countries significantly diminished insecurity in spite of lacking the oil richness that Venezuela counts on. What did we do wrong?
