most violent cities
The worldâs most violent cities. VENEZUELA is in turmoil. Tanking oil prices have taken a heavy toll on its income, along with years of economic mismanagement by the government. Inflation is running at nearly 200%âthe highest rate in the worldâaccording to the IMF, and a week ago it was awarded another dismal accolade. A ranking of the world's most violent cities by CCSP-JP, a Mexican NGO, reports that Venezuela's capital Caracas had the highest murder rate in the world last year.
