According to the report, “[o]rganized crime kills as many
people as all armed conflicts combined.” The report also stated that “up to 19
per cent of all homicides recorded globally in 2017 were related to organized
crime and gangs.” The report found that while more men were victims of
homicide, women were more likely to be killed by their partners or their
family.
The report concluded with several policy implications.
According to the report, “the only way of obtaining a long-term and sustainable
reduction in the homicide rate is by combating impunity, improving the rule of
law and governance, and investing in education.” The report also noted that
alcohol and drugs “are important facilitators of violence and homicide” and
that providing treatment to people who are addicted to alcohol or drugs would
reduce “the risk of their becoming involved in crime.”
