MEXICO, D.F. (proceso.com.mx) 8-20-20120.  2011 has been the year with the most homicides in this country, according to reports from the National Institute of Statistics and Geography (Inegi). According to the organization, last year there were 27,199 homicides in Mexico, while in 2010, the number reached 25,757.

The state with the most homicides was Chihuahua, with 4,502, while the state with the lowest number was Baja California Sur, with 42.

In 2005, before the current six year (presidential) term started, Inegi reported 9,921 homicides. The number grew every year, except 2007.

With respect to the number of homicides per 100,000 population, the state with the highest number was again Chihuahua, with 131,and the lowest (index) was Yucatan, with three cases.

  4. ....MOSTLY THE YOUNG ARE DYING IN THESE BLOOD SHED WAR, AND HERE IN THE U.S., THE YOUNG are DYING IN DRUG OVERDOSES. PEOPLE ARE DEAD SPIRITUALLY, AND THE SPECTATORS ARE JUST AS DEAD IN THEIR SOULS....

    ....THERE IS A DAY OF ACCOUNTABLITY COMING FOR ALL MANKIND....

    ....FOR THESE PRESENT DISPENSATION AGE IS A TEST TO SHOW OUR STRENGTHS AND WEAKNESSES, AND SHOW DEEP INSIDE WHAT WE ARE MADE OF, GOLD SILVER, OR A TOLIET, THE POTTERS WORKSMANSHIP...

    FOR INDEED THE HUMAN HEART IS THE MOST DECEITFUL AND EVEN UNTO OURSELVES, WE DECEIVE OURSELVES AND OTHERS!!!!

  5. Mexico is only reporting and is being held accountable for ONLY one third of their missing persons and homicides. Where are the other 150,000 that are still missing??????? I lost two and not one government official would help me while in Mexico!!! Ask any Mexican citizen if they know or have someone that has been hurt due to drug or kidnapped (for ransom, usually working class citizens) violence and almost every citizen will tell you they do.

  6. This figure is the total of all killing that took place in Mexico en 2011, including misdeaminor, and not just the ones carried out by the organized crime.

  7. WIth a population of 115 million, it's going to take a long time to "depopulate" Mexico.
