摘要：In Honduras, there were 9453 violent deaths reported in 2013, an average of one violent death per hour. 1 Honduras has been ranked the most violent coun- try on the planet. The data available on homicides in the country are limited but indicate rates as high as 318.3 ho- micides per 100 000 among men aged 20–24 years in 2013. 1 San Pedro Sula and Tegucigalpa are considered to be the first and fifth most violent cities in the world, respectively. 2 The rates of violent death in Honduras surpass those ob- served in many war-affected countries. Elevated rates of homicide and violence unrelated to warfare are not, however, confined to Honduras but also occur in densely urbanized areas in several other countries, including cities in Brazil, Mexico, Pakistan and South Africa.
