We do have fairly reliable stats for the US. It would be interesting to see how they compare to Venezuela.  E.g., I believe the murder rate in one city, Dallas, is 12.4 per 100,000, as mentioned in this article.  That would be double the global average given in LL's article.

Whoever wrote that for the BBC is a ******. The UN Report it cites even says that it's presenting data that's either from "2010 or the latest available", implying that at least some of the data is outdated.
