Sadly, crime is always related to poverty so violence is mostly exist on the poor people and places.
January 2017 statistics
According to the information bulletin released by the police, the government has conducted 40,982 anti-drug operations from July 1 last year to January 7 this year. The police killed 2,206 drug personalities during this period while 44,070 were arrested.
The police also visited 6,097,672 houses as part of its “Project Tokhang,” which involves police officers going around communities across the country in order to persuade suspected drug users to submit themselves to a drug rehabilitation program.
The police reported too that 1,020,244 people surrendered to authorities in the past six months. More than 940,000 of those who surrendered are drug users while about 75,000 are pushers.
The police also acknowledged that 4,049 suspected drug personalities were victims of vigilante-style killings. This is the most controversial feature of the anti-drug campaign, which is described by human rights groups as a clear case of unabated extrajudicial killings involving state forces. The police, however, blamed the surge of violence on the purging activities of rival drug cartels.
0.002% Killed by Police operations
0.004% Percent Vigilante style killings (Maybe from corrupted police or drug syndicates)
Yes it is still alarming but it's very little if you compare it to number of drug users and pusher currently in the country .
