High levels of crime and violence are
widely viewed as a critical constraint to development in
Papua New Guinea (PNG). The most casual discussion on the
topic inevitably elicits stories of personal experiences of
victimization, or those of friends or family. Reports of
violent incidents appear in the media on a daily basis.
Despite 10 years of strong economic growth, with an increase
in GDP of over 8 percent in 2011, there is a perception is
that crime and violence have an impact on the business
climate in the country, and that the costs to development
are significant. This paper is the fourth in a series
produced by the World Bank as part of the study
"Socioeconomic Costs of Crime and Violence in
PNG". The aim of the study has been to conduct targeted
data collection and mine existing information sources,
creating new analyses, in order to feed an informed dialogue
among key stakeholders in PNG, and to help the business
community in their ongoing discussions. As such, the study
provides an overview of costs according to key themes along
with presenting relevant empirical evidence, rather than a
detailed accounting. |
