Government of Costa Rica is doing something …?
to stop the rising crime and insecurity? This note is from a local newspaper, (of course, only in Spanish, so that tourists do not know about it) and continue to risk his life. Here is the link: http://www.aldia.cr/ad_ee/2009/abril/29/nacionales1949136.html TRANSLATION: In North America – was shot three outbreaks of weapons during the assault at his home in streams beach, 25 miles from the center of the town of Carmona, head of the corner of Nandyure, Guanacaste. In the attackers clearly the information is not known (number of police throughout), the suspects broke into his house, and surprised the foreigners and, after wounding him, left the house to an unknown destination. Nobody saw anything. (Of course) The alien was shot twice in the arm and once in the abdomen. Units Red Cross transferred her to the hospital Nandayure Annexation of Nicoya.
It is trying to do something, but the approach being taken by the Government will not immediate results. Some laws have been approved and passed to another to make it easier to arrest and jail people, especially immigrants. But his real efforts long term, trying to ease or eliminate the main cause of crime is believed to poverty, ignorance and lack of opportunity. The toughening of criminal law is criminals target the few who opted for the crime, do not have to. This is part of the right approach. What looks like a vicious crime wave is partly a real increase in crime as CR is losing its middle class base. But above all violent crime is strange being over-informed. CR has traditionally been a non-violent low crime area (the police were disarmed in the 1980s) with most people living well without debt in their own homes. The Costa Ricans violence perceiveany as much worse than most people in the world. Foreigners too easy, easy to spot, and is a reasonable assumption, although not always true, worth the effort of stealing. At this point the risk of being punished for rbbing people is almost nil, but the government is making an attempt to make the offense a little more difficult. This is also a part of the right approach. But the genral trend this government and previous governments have followed are breaking with the traditional culture and crime here will eventually reach the levels of OT and violence of the cultures of these governments are choosing to imitate. It is part of the package.
