The Director refers to the long history of political violence that has persisted despite several peace processes; Mentions the social violence of children dying of malnutrition; Of the abuses against minors, that until October of the last year already passed of 18,000 denounces; Acid attacks on women, etc. The cruel murder of an eight-year-old girl recently happened in Bogotá is one more manifestation of the multiform violence that exists in Colombia, and that has raised the question of whether Colombia is truly an exceptionally violent country.</p><div><hr size="1" /><div><p class="p1"><a href="#_ftnref1">[1]</a> http://www.semana.com/nacion/articulo/carlos-valdes-director-del-instituto-de-medicina-legal-violencia-en-colombia/511538</p></div></div>}, number={1}, journal={Colombia Medica}, author={Fandiño-Losada, Andrés and Guerrero, Rodrigo}, year={2017}, month={Mar.}, pages={9–11} }
