美国的杀人率在2025年中期有所下降,但由于帮派暴力、犯罪和历史政策,美洲的杀人率仍然很高。 U.S. homicide rates fell by mid-2025 but remain high in the Americas due to gang violence, crime, and historical policies.

到2025年年中,美国杀人案的发生率从流行病高峰下降,但各地区差别很大,而美洲继续遭受不成比例高的暴力,全世界50个最危险的城市中,有43个位于那里。 By mid-2025, U.S. homicide rates had dropped from pandemic peaks but varied widely by region, while the Americas continued to experience disproportionately high violence, with 43 of the world’s 50 most dangerous cities located there. 帮派之间的冲突和有组织犯罪是致命暴力,特别是青年男子之间致命暴力的主要动因。 Inter-gang conflict and organized crime drive much of the lethal violence, especially among young men. 拉丁美洲的不平等、贫穷、迅速城市化等因素是造成这种情况的原因,但不能充分解释该区域高比率的原因。 Factors like inequality, poverty, and rapid urbanization in Latin America contribute, but do not fully explain the region’s high rates. 美国历史上的外交政策,包括干预和打击毒品战争、削弱国家机构和增强犯罪集团的权能。 Historical U.S. foreign policy, including interventions and the war on drugs, weakened state institutions and empowered criminal groups. 仍然缺乏有效、协调的区域解决方案。 Effective, coordinated regional solutions remain lacking.
