(Statistical Report on Violence in Guatemala) Summary: This report, available in Spanish only, shows how over the last seven years homicidal violence in Guatemala has increased more than 120%, from 2655 homicides in 1999 to 5885 in 2006. In 2006, the country had a national homicide rate of 47 per 100,000 inhabitants, rising to 108 per 100,000 in Guatemala City - rates that position Guatemala as one of the world's most violent countries. The report highlights the fact that official police and justice statistics identify only a fraction of all victims of violence, and that for a more comprehensive picture data from mortuaries, hospitals and emergency departments are essential. Probable underlying causes and risk factors are identified, and set of prevention recommendations are provided. Details: Guatemala: Programa de las Naciones Unidas para el Dessarrollo, 2007. 79p.
