Trinidad & Tobago: 32 per 100,000
Trinidad and Tobago saw a 12 percent increase in murders last year.
The island nation recorded 448 homicides in 2021, a jump from 399 in 2020, according to the press, citing the country's police service. However, Trinidad and Tobago's death toll was below that of 2019, when the country recorded 539 murders, one of the deadliest years on record.
At least 33 femicides occurred in 2021. Violence against women, including protesters, has long been ignored by the government. The targeting of nationals of Chinese origin, especially business owners, also continued in 2021.
