Abstract: Report exploring crime and violence as a key development issue for Central American countries. Beyond the trauma and suffering of individual victims, crime and violence carry staggering economic costs at the national level and drag down economic growth, not just from the victims' lost wages and labor, but by polluting the investment climate and diverting scarce government resources to strengthen law enforcement rather than promote economic activity.
