Many countries that aren't systematized to the same degree as advanced economies don't report the true level of crime, and those who rely on tourism have additional incentive not to. Much of Colombia is palpably dangerous and overflowing with prostitution, even minors, while cops look the other way.

I shared global per-capita murder rates by city, a notoriously difficult-to-falsify metric. I verified the data's reliability by cross-referencing Wikipedia (Statista) with official UN and OECD sources.

Regarding prostitution in Colombia, it's legalized since 2016, which may explain its greater visibility.

Colombia's major exports are commodities; while tourism has grown, it's not the primary export.
