"South America now has the
same homicide rate as in 1995, which is the result
of very different trends at the country level. For
example, Colombia’s homicide rate has been
decreasing since 1996 but remains at a very high
level, while the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela is
the only country in South America that has had a
consistently increasing homicide rate since 1995.
Other countries in the region have quite stable
homicide rates, but at different levels: Brazil’s
homicide rate is quite stable and high, while hom-
icide rates in Argentina, Chile and Uruguay are
stable and lower, which gives them homicide pro-
files closer to those of European countries. "
