Caracas (AFP) - Venezuela urged police Saturday to report corruption in their ranks seen as part of the violent crime crisis, after a famous ex-beauty queen was slain.

In this violent crime-wracked nation, Interior Minister Miguel Rodriguez gave out his cellular number during an address and asked police to call him to report corruption.

--------------------------
Experts often cite corruption as part of the crime crisis. Homicides run from 39 per 100,000 people to 79 per 100,000, based on government and NGO data respectively.

-----------------

Authorities only solve eight out of 100 homicides in Venezuela, emboldening criminals who have turned the South American nation into one of the world's most dangerous places outside war zones.
