Peru: 8.3 per 100,000

Peru's homicide rate appears to have remained relatively stable in 2020. From January to June, the country's National Institute of Statistics and Information (Instituto Nacional de Estadística e Informática -- INEI) registered 1,358 reports of both manslaughter and intentional homicide, which gave the nation a projected annual total of 2,716 and an estimated homicide rate of 8.3 per 100,000.

The available data point to a marginal decline from 2019's total of 2,803 murders and reflect a gradual downward trend in homicides for the country since killings spiked at 3,012 in 2018. However, last year's projected total would still be the nation's third-highest in recent years.
