11. Trinidad and Tobago
Black population: 1,047,366

The government marks young black males as main culprits for prevalent violence in the country, thus creating an atmosphere in which police officers often abuse power with impunity. Reacting to one of the incidents between police and the black community in which two Afro-Trinidadian teen brothers were shot in the back, minister of national security justified police action by implicating that the state is in the war against its criminal black community.
