I’m not sure about Venezuela but Cuba saw an increase in crime rate once the Soviet Union collapsed and the blockade came into effect. They lost like 85% of their trade and wages shrunk, and the deprivation lead to more instances of crime, which also increased the incarceration rate.
In Venezuela that exact same thing happened, but not because of sanctions or blockades, but because of the oil prices crash and the inflation cause by “Money printing machine goes brrrrrrr”
Anyway, venezuela has always being corrupt and dangerous, just now it is more than ever before.

Wasn’t the oil price crash manufactured by the US?
No
Yeah seems like it was Saudi Arabia that did that

Exactly, its also Venezuela fault for depending so much on Oil, that we had almost nothing else to export when the oil prices crashed.
