Law enforcement in Cuba is the responsibility of the National Revolutionary Police Force (Spanish: Policía Nacional Revolucionaria, PNR) under the administration of the Cuban Ministry of the Interior. Article 65 of the Cuban Constitution states that "defense of the socialist motherland is every Cuban's greatest honor and highest duty".[1] Conscription into either the armed forces or the national police force is compulsory for those over the age of 16. Nevertheless, conscripts have no choice to which service they are assigned.[2]
Crime rates in Cuba remain significantly lower than many other major nations worldwide, with Cuban police acting strongly against any crime, particularly in Havana. Fidel Castro commented in 1998 that "the war against crime is also a war against the imperialist enemy".[3] Information on murder and rape crime statistics for the country have never been released by the government, but theft was estimated to be 6,531 cases in 1988, or 62 per 100,000 population.[4]
