Inaccurate data
editIn this piece of the main article there is supposedly a 14% drop in murders between 2003 and 2004. However according to the UNODC there actually has been quite a large increase between these dates.
La Mano Dura met initial success in reducing the country's homicide rate, with a 14% drop in murders in 2004. That success was short-lived, however, as the murder rate increased to 64.7 per 100,000 people by 2006. Murder rates remained well above 2003 levels until 2012, when a truce was brokered between the MS-13 and Calle 18 gangs.[6]
