Based on these coarse data and considering that violence is exercised by a variety of offenders such as IAG members, drug traffickers, organized crime groups and serious offenders who do not belong to armed groups, such as participants in brawls and family violence, we can say that the phenomenon of violence in Colombia is particularly complex and severe. In this regard, differences have been reported among groups of aggressors, such as paramilitary members, severe offenders and brawl participants.
Sólo al mirar estos datos gruesos y tener en cuenta que la violencia la ejercen una variedad de agresores: los que pertenecen a GAI, al narcotráfico, a grupos de delincuencia organizada, agresores severos que no pertenecen a grupos armados, los agresores en riñas y los agresores familiares, se puede afirmar que el fenómeno de la violencia en Colombia es particularmente complejo y grave.
