The Global Study on Homicide 2013 seeks to shed light on the worst of crimes — the intentional killing of one human being by another. Beyond resulting in the deaths of nearly half a million people in 2012, this form of violent crime has a broad impact on security — and the perception of security — across all societies.

This report focuses on interpersonal violence, which is violence that occurs between family members, intimate partners, friends, acquaintances and strangers, and includes child maltreatment, youth violence, intimate partner violence, sexual violence and elder abuse.

La edición 2013 del Estudio mundial sobre el homicidio, en la que se incluye una selección de datos que van del nivel global al subnacional, ofrece un panorama completo del homicidio intencional en el mundo.

El presente Documento de Marco Sectorial (SFD, por sus siglas en inglés) presenta las prioridades del Banco en el sector de seguridad ciudadana y justicia, en adelante “el sector”.

Given the strong ties linking citizen security and the development of Latin America and the Caribbean, the Bank has been supporting efforts to tackle crime and violence. It has framed its work in citizen security through the establishment of specific guidelines (Operational Guidelines for Program Design and Execution in the Area of Civic Coexistence and Public Safety, GN-2535), which identify the Bank’s areas of support, as well as those outside its mandate and those for which it does not have a comparative advantage as a development institution.
