Jamaica - 4 Nov 2005 - Crime and Jamaica

This article, although not about specific crime numbers, states the present number of murders in Jamaica.

In this post from last week, I speculated on the final number of murders for this year in Jamaica.

It seems I was a bit conservative in my estimate. The number of murders in Jamaica for this year is just over 1400, with still 2 months (or about 1/6 th of a year) left.

It is safer to be an America soldier in Iraq than a Jamaican citizen in Spanish Town.
