Si tus opiniones provienen de wikileaks pues estas leyendo la basura y mentira de el gobierto gringo, porque wikileaks es informacion proveniente de las embajadas sea secreta o no pero dirigida a otros diplomaticos pero normalmente si es de CR va dirigida a Washington. Quien escribio el cable? un diplomatico gringo! El es asessor en criminologia? NO! Los datos no son certeros ya que el crimen en CR tiene sus momentos de tope y otros momentos que llega a tener una baja tendencia igual que las enfermedades,clima,y accidentes automovilisticos. La taza de criminalidad en CR subio bastante pero jamas de lo jamas se puede comparar con el resto de Centroamerica un pillo que te roba la billetera no es igual a un marero que masacra a todos en un bus.. Centroamerica esta podrido en crimen pero aqui tenemos menos que los demas.

Perhaps you havent read the article correctly. CR did not came up with this stadistic out of the blue or bribed this consulting firm however its a foreigner firm that provides useful data for vital purposes among diferent studies. And just imagine how much crime doesnt get report it on the other nations as well… These consulting firms have their tools to work out on these areas in order to get the nearest numbers, or perhaps you can personally go to their office and burn down their degrees kick them in the face and tell them what you know and how they should do their job….Maybe you can become the most powerful consulting man ever walk on earth.

I agree , had friends live in Nica’ for 16 years , no worries . The big thing is Costa Ripoff has a HUGE tourism marketing machine to keep making everybody feel like it is the best place to live and visit .. Those of us who have been to CR know better , it sucked .

Costa Ripoff , uh not buying it . I had friends living there for 12 years and the petty /property crimes were off the charts . They lost so many things it was unbelievable . So maybe not killed but the crime of insecurity was amazing bad … Not happening Costa Ripoff

Yeah Right. There were more pistols but they were “stolen” from the police lockup and, like everything else stolen here, were never recovered. CR might lack violence but may have more daily crime per capita than anywhere on earth…LOL Crime by cowards and adult “children”. Oh my son is a good boy. He keeps his room clean !. He’s fifty ya damn idiot !

I spent some time in Leon, Nicaragua. I would live there except the constant heat,and brown outs… A friend of mine Nicaraguensa told me her brother in law is the Commandant in Rivas. That any hard headed , low life, robbers and thieves do not last long there. The police know who they are round them up , school of hard knocks and kick them out of the city. They hardly ever return. Also she would not allow certain family members in her house.. She explained past history and less complicated.

The last time down there in 2012, I was in Costa Rica and Panama both. Other than some parts of Panama City in the evening, I felt a lot safer in Panama. The people were very friendly and the law enforcement was prominent but polite. I never felt that I was in danger of being robbed at any time. In Costa Rica, except the far south, I didn’t have that confidence and felt I always have to be vigilant.
