The violence in the region could actually be worse than the figures describe.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ydp9ffdaf68MsoNormal\">The ranking by\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.seguridadjusticiaypaz.org.mx\/sala-de-prensa\/1604-metodologia-del-ranking-2021-de-las-50-ciudades-mas-violentas-del-mundo\">Seguridad, Justicia y Paz<\/a> is based primarily on the murder rate per 100,000 residents. The findings were first published by <a href=\"https:\/\/noticaribe.com.mx\/2022\/03\/07\/cancun-figura-entre-las-50-ciudades-mas-peligrosas-del-mundo-asegura-ac\/\"><em>NotiCaribe<\/em><\/a>. Cancun saw 337 murders with a population of 915,432, making for a murder rate of 36.81. However, the study does not reveal if the figures are only for the city proper or includes the surrounding violent hotspots like Playa Del Carmen and others.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"D-ROS-B1\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B1\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"gmxrevmore\" class=\"H\"><\/figure>\n<p class=\"ydp9ffdaf68MsoNormal\">The ranking reflects the violent turf war in the tourist hotspot which makes international headlines. The violence is tied to the control of drug distribution and trafficking routes into Mexico.

Most recently, a man and a young girl sustained gunshot injuries during an attack, <a href=\"https:\/\/noticaribe.com.mx\/2022\/03\/07\/balean-a-un-hombre-y-una-nina-tambien-resulta-herida-en-la-region-259-de-cancun\/\"><em>NotiCaribe<\/em><\/a> reported. The man was standing outside his home when suspected hitmen fired multiple shots. No arrests have been made in the case.<\/p>\n<p>The\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/travel.state.gov\/content\/travel\/en\/traveladvisories\/traveladvisories\/mexico-travel-advisory.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">U.S. Department of State<\/a> previously warned travelers about the\u00a0dangers of visiting Mexico. For Cancun, consular officials claim that there are no travel restrictions to the state of Quintana Roo, however, they warn \u201ccriminal activity and violence may occur throughout the state.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"ydp9ffdaf68MsoNormal\">The study finds that the top-eight ranked cities are in Mexico, with St. Louis, Missouri, and Kingston, Jamaica rounding out the 10, respectively. The only cities listed outside of the Western Hemisphere are Durban (35th) and Johannesburg (48th) in South Africa.<\/p>\n<p class=\"m-7133082803359329099gmail-p2\"><span class=\"m-7133082803359329099gmail-s1\"><i><span>Luisana Moreno is a contributing writer for Breitbart Texas.<\/span><\/i><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Cancun is considered one of the 50 most dangerous cities in the world at 40th place, according to a Mexican nongovernmental organization\u2019s study.
