T&T Beats Jamaica Crime Rate

Trinis take the lead in murders Jamaica up 15%, T&T rises by 65%

For the same period last year, with 913 murders recorded in Jamaica, the homicide rate increased by 15 per cent based on figures on the Jamaican Constabulary Force's website www.jcf.gov.jm. Compare this with the almost Mt Everest climb in the murder rate in Trinidad and Tobago this year over 2007. *This country's homicide rate went up by 65 per cent compared with Jamaica's 15 per cent.* Between January 1 and August 18, murders were recorded at 340, 134 more than 2007. Murders here have now surpassed 400, with 500 a possibility at year's end if trends of more than a homicide a day continue, police say. At October 5 last year, 260 murders were recorded, at least 150 fewer than this year.

Comments: I guess when this was first written, yes by percentile TT's murder rate increased greatly, but we must acknowledge that in the last two years (2009 and 2010) we see a small downward trend, while Jamaica's count is over 1200 (est), Jamaica's population is roughly double that of TT with a land mass roughly double ours as well, we share some of the same obstacles.
