Caracas

The Caracas District is located in Pespue City, Hooke Island.
The neighborhood lost residents with the worsening safety problems and, after the 1992 riots in the Caracas district, many people of color left the city to Kingstown.
Caracas experienced a drop in homicide in the late 1990s and 2000s. Crime has stabilized overall in the 2010s. The decrease in homicides has been attributed to various factors, including faster response times by police (reducing shots fired) and better medical care (increasing survival rates). The new mayor elected in 2013 has helped to settle turf wars between the gangs, Los Demonyos, Stalano Cartel and Rippers , which has further reduced the homicide rate.
