1. San Pedro Sula, Honduras – Most Dangerous City In The World
Via assets.nydailynews.com
San Pedro Sula consistently being at the top of every world’s most dangerous city list is as guaranteed as death and taxes.
Located in northwest Honduras, San Pedro Sula is considered the most dangerous city in the most dangerous country in the world. In 2014, the murder rate was a mind-numbing 171 deaths per 100,000 inhabitants. That is the highest rate per capita for a city that’s not a war zone and it works out to be about 3 homicides a day.
The city is rife with drug trafficking, illegal arms trafficking, gang warfare over power, and countless murders due to each of the aforementioned problems. No one blinks an eye when violence spills out onto the streets every day. Sadly for civilians, their safety is the last thing on anyone’s minds as the city is more or less controlled by drug cartels and law enforcement is virtually useless in San Pedro Sula.
To put it into perspective, you know a city is dangerous when issues like political instability, poverty, and corruption are considered to be minor problems (relatively speaking).
