Before 2016 enters, a non-governmental group has just released Venezuela's murder rate in 2015, showing a steep climb in the number of homicides in the country. Reports claim that Venezuela is one of the places worldwide with the most number of violent attacks.



The Associated Press reports that the Venezuelan Violence Observatory gave its 2015 numbers for Venezuela's homicide rate, which rose up to 90 per 100,000 residents, including a total of 27,875 killings that occurred in this year alone.


Furthermore, the NGO tracked Venezuela's homicide rate and compared it to last year's numbers, which was 82 per 100,000 residents, showing a definite increase. The number was totally different back in 1998, where the publication revealed that the year before the election of the late Hugo Chavez and the start of his Bolivarian revolution had only 19 per 100,000 residents.


The publication further said that Venezuela even surpassed the rate in Honduras and is now in rivalry with El Salvador as the world's deadliest country, although numbers have yet to become available for comparison. Meanwhile, it was not confirmed if the said rate went up continuously or was halted in certain years because there were no available findings in every year.
