Did you seriously ask that about Laos?? Are you that ignorant?
Laos is a source, and to a lesser extent, a transit and destination country for human trafficking. As a criminal activity, trafficking in person is difficult to evaluate and statistics documenting the scale of this subject in Laos are poor. International surveys estimate that between 200,000 and 450,000 people are trafficked annually within the Greater Mekong Subregion.
Or do you think pointing out a dangerous place isn’t PC? I’m from El Salvador and a few years back I would have told you to stay away from that gang filled, dangerous shit hole. Are you gonna defend me from my own comment about my own people?
You appear to have confused crime with homicide. You called them DEADLY, not high crime. Their homicide rate per 100k pop is about 8, barely above the US. For comparison, Jamaica is rated as the world’s highest homicide rate at 53 per 100k, and all the top 10 are above 25 per 100k. Laos is barely above average.

Maybe cure your own ignorance before projecting it onto others?
PS: Do you think you’re the only person on lemmy raised in the 3rd world?
