Resumen
Descripción
Reports in both the national and
international media and anecdotal evidence indicate that the
prevalence of crime and violence is high in PNG, and
presents an important obstacle to long-term development. A
growing body of literature and data on the issue identify a
diverse range of forms of crime and violence; from violence
in the household to violent conflict between clans, and
various forms of interpersonal violence. This violence has
been linked to various factors, ranging from historical and
cultural factors, to, more recently, economic drivers.
Conflict and violence have historically been an integral
part of social life in PNG. This briefing note presents an
analysis of the drivers of violence and crime in PNG. An
extensive data and literature review was undertaken by a
World Bank team, following a scoping mission to PNG in
December 2011. A follow-up mission to Port Moresby in
October 2012 which included individual consultations with
stakeholders as well as an experts meeting on Conflict and
Fragility helped test and refine the analysis. The brief
begins with a description of the role of conflict in PNG
society, and of traditional mechanisms for managing
conflict. Next, it discusses key stresses that increase the
risk of violence in PNG. The fourth section examines how
these stresses affect the capacity of institutions in PNG to
manage the conflicts that come with rapid social and
economic changes. The brief concludes with a summary of gaps
in the current understanding of the stresses and drivers of
violence in PNG.
