All the Venezuelan criminals were kicked out to other countries in Latin America, that is why you see people like the Peruvian with resentment and hatred against Venezuela in every thread, Venezuela was a very dangerous country and the mega gangs now operate in countries like Peru.
There was a before and after after the pandemic, in the exodus from the country all the criminals left (like any good socialist government, with time the government did a purge of criminals, it is an open secret in Caracas that if you do something bad the FAES looks for you and kills you, for things as simple as selling marijuana), if you pay so much attention to the figures, look for figures before 2020 and figures after.
A homicide rate less than 25% in 2022.

2021 had a 20% drop compared to 2020.

2020 the same compared to 2019 and so every year since 2017, it is literally more dangerous to go to Mexico or Argentina(currently) than Venezuela.
I still have the suspicion that you are the proxy.
