I was recently reminded of one of the closing lines in the excellent movie El Infierno:

"The past generation saw corruption and impunity as normal. Now there is a generation that sees violence as normal".

Looks like a case of comparing apples to oranges. In the list Rolly cited, dangerous cities are ranked by number of murders. The other list ranks the cities by violent crimes not limited to murder but also includes kidnapping, robbery and assaults.
