Puerto Rican Anti-crime Policy
Crime in Puerto Rico describes acts of violent and non-violent crime that take place within the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico. Among all territories of the United States, Puerto Rico has one of the highest crime rates. To combat crime, the government of Puerto Rico adopted a broad anti-crime policy referred to as the "iron fist against crime" (locally ) – or simply the "iron fist" (''mano dura''). In 1993, Governor Pedro Rosselló summed up government efforts by remarking, "They have asked for war, and war they shall have. Let every criminal know: Our patience has ended". However, even after adopting the multiple anti-crime measures, violent crime stayed too high. In 2006, for instance, the island reported 736 murders. In the early twenty-first century police corruption facilitated drug related crimes; it resulted in the arrest of over thirty Puerto Rico law enforcement agents. It came at a time when Puerto Rico ranked sixth worldwide in murders per capita. To counteract, federa ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
