Crime prevention and criminal justice in Central America and the Caribbean represent a constant and complex challenge. This region faces a variety of issues including high crime rates, lack of access to effective and equitable justice, and corruption that can undermine law enforcement efforts.
Crime prevention in unequal socioeconomic contexts and disadvantaged communities presents significant challenges. Building more effective justice systems and developing long-term crime prevention strategies require cooperation among governments, institutions, communities, and international organizations.
Despite these challenges, ongoing commitment to improving crime prevention and criminal justice is crucial for building safer and more just societies in the region.
