... that the 2012 Transparency International Corruption Perceptions Index ranked Cuba (police car pictured) 58th out of 176 countries, tied with Jordan and Namibia?

Inadequate coverage of the topic. Gatoclass (talk) 17:45, 15 June 2013 (UTC)

Working on improving the article. In the meantime, here is ALT1: ... that in the 1920s, Fernando Ortiz believed in a "scientific crusade against crime in Cuba"? --Rosiestep (talk) 03:12, 17 June 2013 (UTC)

Obviously it's better than it was, but I'm still not totally comfortable with this. For example, there are few if any statistics; in particular, I would like to see comparative statistics with other South and North American countries. The organization is still a bit of a mess - if you haven't done so already, I would suggest taking a look at some of the more mature "Crime in country" articles, like for example Crime in the United States or Crime in Canada.

I actually took clue from Crime in India. ☯ Bonkers The Clown \(^_^)/ Nonsensical Babble ☯ 03:28, 27 June 2013 (UTC)

Since the nom, the article has been expanded by 3 other editors (Dr. Blofeld, Nvvchar, and me). I've done a bit of c/e just now. Unfortunately, we won't get crime statistics in Cuba if the ref for the lede sentence is to be considered reliable. I'm offering ALT2: ... that prostitution is not a crime in Cuba? --Rosiestep (talk) 19:06, 1 July 2013 (UTC)

Considering that the photo for ALT2 has a 'Personality rights warning', and is massively BLP-problematic, I'd say no to using it at the main page. --Soman (talk) 01:06, 7 July 2013 (UTC)

I tweaked ALT2, removing "pictured" and I've removed the photo from this nom page. Also, the photo is no longer in the article. --Rosiestep (talk) 04:10, 7 July 2013 (UTC)

Article needs full review post expansion; issues with ALT2 have been addressed by eliminating the problematic photo. BlueMoonset (talk) 17:41, 8 July 2013 (UTC)

I still have some POV concerns with this one, and again, I will need to find time to check the article content against its sources to ensure it is presenting a reasonably accurate portrayal of crime in the country. Gatoclass (talk) 11:36, 18 July 2013 (UTC)
