Panama Crime
Crime levels are high, and we're not talking about petty theft here. Violent crime such as armed robberies (which have been known to occur in restaurants),shootings, rape, muggings, car theft, car jackings, and 'express kidnappings' from ATM machines, just to name a few – and that's just in Panama city.
Panama is one of the more unequal countries in the world. With a consumption Gini of 49 and an income Gini of 60, Panama's inequality ranks among the highest — on par with Brazil and just below South Africa, two of the most unequal countriesin the world. Panama's poorest are very poor and the richest are very rich.
