Normalize it by region, maybe. Mexico has much higher homicide rate, for example.

- K0balt 1y agoThe DR has a homicide rate similar to the worst 20% of US states, but much lower than the most murdery ones.
- dmoy 1y agoYea that's why I was wondering if GGP was talking about specific areas. There's certainly cities in the US with eyewatering violent crime rates (St Louis, Baltimore, etc). Not sure if OP was specifically talking about a similar localization within the Dominican Republic.
- K0balt 1y agoIdk. IMHO the crime exposure here is pretty insignificant if you aren’t going to the tourist hotspots. At the touristy places it’s about like NYC risk wise.
