  1. Homicide Rates: Mexico has experienced a significant increase in homicides since the war on drugs began. In 2006, there were around 10,452 homicides, and by 2019, the number had risen to approximately 34,681, although these numbers can fluctuate from year to year.
  2. Missing Persons: The number of missing persons in Mexico is a complex issue, with many cases going unreported or uninvestigated. According to official government figures, there were over 85,000 registered missing persons cases as of January 2021. These numbers are likely underestimates due to underreporting and issues with record-keeping.
  3. Mass Graves: Throughout the conflict, mass graves have been discovered in various regions, containing the remains of numerous victims. These graves are often linked to drug-related violence, but specific statistics can be challenging to obtain accurately.
  4. Human Rights Abuses: The war on drugs has been associated with numerous human rights abuses, including extrajudicial killings, torture, and disappearances. Many innocent civilians have been caught in the crossfire, and some have been victims of violence or abuse by security forces.

For these reasons and more, Mexican citizens live in daily fear of the violence that is permeating through their communities. With rampant corruption in some cases and a true inability to match the firepower of the cartels in others, the people are left with few options when it comes to dealing with narco related crime.


In this episode we take a look at some pretty eye opening statistics about the fear levels in Mexico and how those levels, unfortunately, are only going to keep growing as the brutal war on drugs drags on.
