6. Belize
Rate: 29.7
Belize, the number 6 on our list of countries that had the most gun violence in 2016 is a beautiful nation, but the violence rates are quite high. The nation has some 360,000 residents, with nearly 30 people dying by firearm wounds for every 100,000 people.
Although tourism is one of the main sources of income for Belize, it has been reported that violent crimes are most often kept away from areas frequently visited by tourists. Instead, pickpocketing, burglary, as well as hotel room theft, is most often directed to those who are just vacationing.
