Intentional homicide in Honduras

According to the homicide figures in Table 8.1, on page 93 of the 2011 Global Study on Homicide, published by the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime, Honduras has the highest rate of intentional homicide in the world, with 6,239 intentional homicides, or 82.1 per 100,000 of population in 2010. This is significantly higher than the rate in El Salvador, which at 66.0 per 100,000 in 2010, has the second highest rate of intentional homicide in the world.

The information in this article is so scanty, it should probably just be deleted. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.169.72.186 (talk) 02:39, 22 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Also according to the "2011 Global Study on Homicide," the murder rate was trending downwards in Honduras until 2005. The murder rate assumed the upward trend in 2005-2006, when Manuel Zelaya took office, and that trend line continued through Zelaya's ouster in 2009. The leads one to the conclusion that the increase in murder did not suddenly start when Zelaya was ousted, as suggested in the first line of article.

The 2011 figures are out of date. The 2012 UNODC data is available, and this section has been updated to reflect this, but a citation to the 2012 UNODC data (which can be found on the List of countries by intentional homicide rate page) needs to be added.

U.S Peace Corps

I wasn't sure if the part about the withdrawal of the U.S. Peace Corps in Honduras needed its own section or not. There wasn't another section that seemed appropriate for this topic. It's also a fairly new development so anyone with other relevant or new information please feel free to move this information to another section or delete this section. I think this information does need to be in this article.--MrNiceGuy1113 (talk) 16:31, 30 April 2012 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by MrNiceGuy1113 (talk • contribs) 16:16, 30 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
