10Caracas, Venezuela
Caracas has long been associated with extreme levels of violent crime. Economic collapse, political instability, and shortages of basic goods have contributed to high rates of armed robbery, kidnapping, and homicide. Many areas of the city are controlled by gangs, and law enforcement capacity is often limited.
Despite its natural beauty and cultural richness, Caracas remains extremely dangerous for both residents and visitors, especially after dark. Daily life for many citizens involves navigating constant security risks.
