The other issue that comes to mind in many problem areas of the world is that crime is generally under-reported, often by a significant margin. A case in point is this excerpt from a June 24, 2014 US State Department travel Warning for Honduras (Honduras Travel Warning) "Since 2010, Honduras has had the highest murder rate in the world.The Honduran Ministry of Security recorded a homicide rate of 75.6 per 100,000 people in 2013, while the National Violence Observatory, an academic research institution based out of Honduras’ National Public University, reports that the 2013 murder rate was 79 murders per 100,000 people." While these numbers may not be wholly accurate - and do not necessarily reflect the level of crime on the Bay Islands - you don't want to dismiss them either.
