I guess the number of murders in a given city doesn't necessarily correspond with how dangerous that city is for a cautious tourist making a point of avoiding trouble. For the purposes of the people on this forum, random daytime attacks against Americans/Europeans/Canadians (and maybe wealthy Dominicans) might be a more meaningful statistic.

A sizable percentage of murders know their victims.

The important statistic for travelers would be the homicide rate in which visitors were murdered. Odds are, it would be different from those given.

Now I know...I'll sell my house in The DR and buy me a house in one of these locations which apparently are much safer (Anywhere in Syria, Iraq, Central African Republic, Congo, Libya, Ukraine, South Sudan, Juarez, Reynosa, east st. Louis, etc...)

Danger does not always involve murder. I would say if you got mugged twice in any city, you would still consider it too dangerous even if they failed to murder you.

Tourists are much more often mugged, swindled or pickpocketed than murdered. Such crimes fit into my list of dangers to avoid.

The number of murders in any city is affected by trauma medicine. If you live in a city with good hospitals and EMS then the shootings, beatings and stabbings don't end up as murder. The murder rate only partially informs on the safety of a city.
