Of the 25 countries listed, 6 are from the English-speaking Caribbean with the following killings per 100,000 population:

[1] Jamaica = 39.3

[2] Saint Kitts and Nevis = 33.6

[3] The Bahamas = 29.8

[4] Trinidad and Tobago = 28.3

[5] Saint Lucia = 21.6

[6] Dominica = 21.1

Guyana is notably out of the top 25. Still, that is no consolation to the families of Guyanese who lose their loved ones unexpectedly and shockingly. I take into account the fact that some Guyanese are murdered by their own family or friends, but that is minimal compared to the overall murder rate.

These statistics are woefully flawed since many nations so not submit proper data or under report their data. Local calculations have our murder rate at between 18 to 25 per 100k on average.

These numbers are most likely not reliable. Central America...Honduras, Nicaragua and Guatemala have the highest rates...Jamaica is far behind. In any case...Jamaica has its problems but I never feel insecure there. At least my name is not on Roheesque surveillance list and nobody there ever tried to firebomb my family and I. I hope this list is abandoned in Guyana by now...because my pen will speak when I go there again soon.
