Abstract
In this article I discuss intentional homicide cases in the metropolitan area of Caracas, Venezuela, during 2013 in which police officers were the victims. The article describes the trends of such homicide cases and discusses personal and situational variables surrounding the events. I begin with a preliminary discussion of both the academic literature and media reports on this issue, contrasting the debate and the suggestions made in both sources with data from empirical studies. As a result, some assumptions about those cases are demystified.
