US issues travel advisory for Caribbean hotspot amid violence, sex assault concerns

The State Department has issued a level two advisories urging travelers to "exercise increased caution" when traveling to the Dominican Republic.
"Violent crime, including armed robbery, homicide and sexual assault is a concern throughout the Dominican Republic," the department said in its advisory. "The wide availability of weapons, the use and trade of illicit drugs, and a weak criminal justice system contribute to the high level of criminality on the broader scale."

The State Department noted that Americans looking to travel to resorts are likely safer as these areas "tend to be better policed than urban areas like Santo Domingo."
