Though hard to believe, tor the second year in a row Costa Rica is considered one of the most secure country in Lain America for foreign multinationals and their executives, according to the third annual Latin Security Index developed by FTI Consulting Ibero America for Latin Business Chronicle.

Venezuela, however, is rapidly becoming one of the most violent countries in the region, with an alarming spike in kidnappings for ransom, homicides adn organized crime related to drug cartels. Venezuela follows Haiti, which is ranked at the most unsafe country in Latin America.

"There is a slight worsening in the region’s public security [although] there are some exceptions," says Frank Holder, founder of Holder International and senior managing director of FTI Consulting.

Both Brazil and Colombia are among the most dangerous countries in Latin America for business executives, according to the Index.

The Latin Security Index measures the danger level in Latin America based on homicide rates as well as other factors affecting corporate security and the safety of foreign business executives. FTI Consulting bases its ratings on official numbers from public security secretariats, local police, governments, NGO's and institutes of crime investigations.

Each country receives rating from 1 to 5 with 1 representing a non-dangerous country and 5 representing a very dangerous country.

Problem is, I'm sure this report will make the CR gov complacent with the status quo.

No surprise since CR is tiny. What's scary is the raise in crime and the lack of realistic laws keeping criminals out of CR or in jail. Roman vs. Greek judicial laws mean squat to me. Justice should be rooted in Logic which it is clearly not. Of course, when you have someone in charge that has no clue your chances start off poorly. Don't be surprised if you start hearing about death squads going after criminals soon. Nicaragua has a steady increase in that type of activity year in and year out. Its just a matter of time when the people start protecting themselves against morally inept thugs.

Since CR criminals are not caught, is a crime counted towards the report? Same as when a tree falls in the forest, is there a sound?
