It is an extremely poor and violent area, and was pointed out some years ago with a death rate caused by fire weapons higher than many world violent areas, such as Colombia and the countries in the Middle East. In 2000, it was appointed by the United Nations as the world's most violent place. [1] However, the criminal rate is falling down in the last years due to the community action. [1] The murder rate was reduced by almost 50%. [1]
