PEOPLE IN the Caribbean face some of the highest levels of violence in the world. Of the 22 Latin American and Caribbean countries surveyed in 2020 by the independent think tank Insight Crime, three Caribbean countries ranked in the top six with most violence. Jamaica tops the list with the highest numbers of murders (46.5) per 100,000 inhabitants, with Trinidad and Tobago (28.2) and Belize (24.3) ranking as the fourth and sixth, respectively.
