The Peruvian legal system is based generally on the Napoleonic Code (civil law). Peru has one of the highest reported crime rates in Latin America. Violent crime, including carjacking, assault, and armed robbery is common in Lima and other large cities. Resistance to violent crime often provokes greater violence, while victims who do not resist usually do not suffer serious physical harm. The threat of street crime is greatest in areas that attract large crowds, particularly crowds of tourists or wealthy Peruvians.
