Spanish term or phrase: entorno de inseguridad
Hola, buen día, no encuentro el equivalente en inglés para el muy llevado y traído "entorno de inseguridad" en referencia a México. "Uncertain environment" no da la idea del efecto de la violencia callejera y institucional sobre la economía e inversiones.

El párrafo dice "Cuestionado sobre el efecto que tiene el entorno de inseguridad en México sobre las inversiones, el empresario dijo que "el que no invierte por miedo y precaución, se va a quedar atrás".

Gracias!
