Between 2001 and 2008, Trinidad and Tobago experienced a 357.6% increase in homicides, from 151 in 2001 to 540 in 2008. Most of the increase has been attributed to firearms-related violence (21) and gang warfare. (22)

In 2005, the firearm homicide rate was 21.9 per 100 000 population, which stood in contrast with the rate of 3.8 in the USA. (23)
