Crime Rating: High Crime Threats Crime continues to be a serious concern. Crime is generally non-violent, but the common use of knives and firearms in muggings and street crime creates the possibility for serious harm. Recent statistics indicate a growing willingness to use weapons. Street crime, including pickpocketing and mugging, is common in downtown Asuncion, at the bus terminal, and on public buses. Groups of children have been known to mob pedestrians and steal purses and wallets. For 2014, the Paraguayan National Police (PNP) reported marked increases in vehicle theft (+25 percent), robbery (+10 percent), aggravated robbery (+12 percent), and aggravated theft (+13 percent) as compared to 2013, with other crime categories remaining mostly stagnant. The PNP acknowledges that many crimes go unreported due to lack of confidence in the judicial process. Armed robberies, car thefts (occasionally including carjacking), and burglaries are common. Increasing incidents of muggers using motorcycles to approach their victims have also been reported. One tactic becoming more common is a thief breaking the passenger window of a vehicle stopped at a traffic light or in traffic, grabbing a purse or bag from the car seat, and escaping on the back of a waiting motorcycle. Another tactic is for thieves to target people making large cash transactions at banks. There have been instances of bank employees working with criminal elements to identify and rob individuals after they withdraw large amounts of cash. Residences with augmented security are not immune from burglaries. Many burglaries occur during the day when occupants are not at the residence or when easily manipulated household staff fails to use appropriate security protocols. In some cases, police officers and security guards are complicit in the crimes. It is common for homeowners to be held at gunpoint during robberies. There is no pervasive anti-American sentiment in Paraguay, however, criminals frequently target those believed to be wealthy, which. U.S. citizens are perceived to be. https://www.osac.gov/pages/ContentReportDetails.aspx?cid=17213 From: "sri...@ymail.com" <sri...@ymail.com> To: FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com Sent: Friday, April 3, 2015 8:22 AM Subject: [FairfieldLife] latin America tops in happiness Latin American Countries Are The Happiest In The World, Gallup Poll Finds | | | | | | Latin American Countries Are The Happiest In The World, ...
