Keith Woolford Posted January 6, 2019 Share Posted January 6, 2019 Homicide rates per 100,000 inhabitants are down to 7.5 cases. https://impresa.prensa.com/panorama/Tasa-homicidios-punto-ultimos-anos_0_5176732348.html This graph shows that there has been a steady decline in that statistic since 2009 which theoretically says Panama continues to become safer, particularly in comparison with our neighbours in Central America. * Have to wonder about the accuracy of the reporting by Nicaragua.
