World’s 50 most dangerous cities named and two are in the UK - full list
South Africa and Brazil dominate the list but the UK has two cities among the most dangerous.
A list of the world's 50 most dangerous cities was compiled through data analysis, and two UK cities ranked among them.
It was less surprising to see that Caracas, the capital of Venezuela, topped the list compiled by numbeo.com.
Venezuela has been in the midst of a political and economic crisis for years. The previously oil-dependent economy has plunged into crisis due to a large drop in oil prices after 2013.
Hyperinflation and authoritarian leadership have resulted in millions fleeing the country. Amid the crisis, crime in Caracas has soared.
South African cities Pretoria, Durban, and Johannesburg placed second, third, and fourth. The country regularly tops the league table for crime, especially murder.
