Countries With The Highest Murder Rates In The World

5. Guatemala

Guatemala is one of the states of Central America that has a large population, but a poorer economy than the countries in the region. It, like El Salvador, is struggling with problems like crime, poverty and political instability, but at the same time with a high rate of homicide. In Guatemala, 39.9 out of 100,000 people are killed annually, which is why this is also a very insecure country for life.
