2) In 2008, the UN Office on Drugs and Crime ranked Jamaica second in the world only to Honduras (60.9) in intentional homicide rates, having a rate of 59.5 per 100,000 (UNODC, 2010). In 2009, Jamaica recorded 1,680 murders (JCFSD, 2010). Using 2008 end-of-year population estimates - the most recent available - from the Statistical Institute of Jamaica (SIJ, n.d.) of 2,692,400, the murder rate calculates to 62.4 per 100,000 in 2009.
