Until some years ago, it was one of the safest regions of Caracas since most neighbourhoods on the eastern side had a slightly lower crime rate[1][2][3][4], but now the situation has changed. Crime is rampant in all the districts of the city.[5] Some of the eastern neighborhoods of Caracas report a high rate of kidnappings, but also some neighborhoods in downtown such as San Bernardino.

Notes

    gollark: That reminds me, I should check their GDPR data download thing.
    gollark: I mean, I'm sure they can do *some* helpful stuff with it.
    gollark: Allegedly.
    gollark: Perhaps. I don't think they actually *document* how most of their stuff works or how much data it gathers.
    gollark: I mean, they *could* be doing that if you run your email through them, I'm not sure if they do it in practice.
