Projektbeschrieb

My project is done in San Pedro Sula, Honduras, the most violent city in the world. San Pedro Sula and Tegucigalpa remain the most affected cities by the violent murders in Honduras, in the first 10 months of the year (2016), there are 4270 people murdered, an alarming figure. Only in the city San Pedro Sula there are murder victims in 2950, it is maintained for the fifth consecutive year (2015), the most violent city in the world with its 171,20 homicides per 100,000 inhabitants, (the city has 769'025 inhabitants) about 10 murder victims a day. To get an idea of the murder rate in San Pedro Sula is 10 times more of Baghdad in wartime. With a climate of violence like one of the most popular professions and respected in Honduras and beyond, throughout Latin America is that of Sicarios, hired killer. In Honduras are recruited many young boys, of whom several minors, seduced by the ease of earning large sums of money in a short time, which in turn also increases compliance
