Belize’s Crime Ranking Improves in the Region

And, while the murder count has increased, Minister of Home Affairs Kareem Musa is celebrating the fact that Belize’s crime rate has improved in Latin America and the Caribbean. In the past, Belize was considered the second and third most dangerous country in the region based on the murder rate. Belize is now number fourteen on that list.

 

Kareem Musa, Minister of Home Affairs

“I believe we are number fourteen now in Latin America and the Caribbean. Last year for the first time we came out of the top ten and were at eleven. But as you would know, under the last administration we were at number three and four on the most dangerous countries in Latin America list. I am thankful that we have moved out of the top ten. We are not at fourteen and I look forward to us going even further down that list.”
