Panama: 11.6 per 100,000

Panama recorded 497 homicides last year, according to data from the Attorney General's Office, giving the country a homicide rate of 11.6 per 100,000 people. This marked a slight increase from 2019's total of 480.

While President Laurentino Cortizo pledged to improve public security, in January of last year officials announced they would end a near decade-long ban on the importation of firearms, a move that may have benefitted traffickers and corrupt officials in the country's context of increased violent crime.
