Where do Trinidad and Tobago stand in the world rank of crime rates?

Trinidad and Tobago has one of the highest crime rates in the world, with a murder rate of 42.7 per 100,000 people in 2021, according to data from the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime. This puts it in the top 10 countries with the highest murder rates in the world. The country also has high rates of other violent crimes, such as robbery, assault, and carjacking.

There are a number of factors that contribute to the high crime rate in Trinidad and Tobago, including poverty, inequality, unemployment, and a lack of access to education and opportunity. The country also has a history of violence and gang activity, which contribute to the high crime rate.

The government of Trinidad and Tobago has implemented a number of measures to address the crime rate, including increased police patrols, tougher sentencing laws, and community outreach programs. However, the crime rate remains a serious problem in the country.
