I just noticed, after speaking at length over Skype with a
former senior colleague who is now retired and decided to live in Honduras,
that the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime ranks that Central America
nation as number one in the world in terms of its Homicide Rate. Indeed, Honduras averaged 91.6 murders per
100,000 people in 2011. To put this number into perspective, the United States
has a rate of 4.8 murders per 100,000 and the UK’s rate is 1.2.
All of sudden, I got worried for my friend.
