Is there a lot of crime in Colombia?

"Unfortunately, yes. Colombia has seen its share of drug-related gang violence and criminality, fueled by a long-standing conflict between the government and the illegal drug trade. The illegal drug trade has caused an increase in homicide and kidnapping cases, as well as threats of terrorism.
