12/30-1/5

El Salvador reports a significant decrease in murders by 70% in 2023 compared to the previous year, attributing the drop to its crackdown on gangs. The government's aggressive measures against gangs like MS-13 and Barrio 18 have led to a decline in violence across the country. The decline in murders reflects the effectiveness of the government's efforts in combating organized crime, but it also raises concerns about potential human rights violations and the long-term sustainability of such strategies.

Costa Rica's murder rate has reached a record high as drug gang violence spikes in the country. The surge in violence is attributed to clashes between rival drug gangs competing for control of territory and drug trafficking routes. The situation underscores the challenges faced by Costa Rican authorities in combating organized crime and maintaining public safety in the region. Daily Mail
