The world’s murder capitals, ranked

by Constance Brinkley-Badgett

When it comes to homicide, the most dangerous cities in the world are located in Latin America, where most deaths are related to drug trafficking, weapons trafficking, and gang wars.

According to the latest data from Statista, only three cities outside Central and South America made the top 25, and two of those cities are in the United States.

Here we take a look at those 25 cities and their homicide rates per 100,000 residents:
