According to one academic, these changes, which substantially reduced police powers of detention (although pressure from police chiefs and politicians later widened them somewhat), may have led to an increase in police violence. The police's tradition of a punitive style of policing is reflected in a high rate of death from "resisting authority" - a concept which "is very vague and appears to be used to cover a multitude of incidents in which the police either kidnap and murder civilians, or shoot them in the encounter without any justification." There were nearly 10,000 such cases between 2000 and 2005, and around two-thirds of these are classifiable as police murders, according to the Public Prosecutor. These "resisting authority" deaths increased dramatically after the 1999 criminal law revision (by over 50% in 2000). The 1355 civilians killed in this way in 2005 amounted to a death rate of 5 per 100,000 inhabitants \- higher than many countries' total homicide rate that year. Venezuela in 2006 had around 116,000 police officers Roberto Briceño- León (2007), "La policía y su reforma en Venezuela", Revista Latinamericana de Seguridad Ciudadana, 2, pp164-172.
