Antigua and Barbuda ranks below the Caribbean average for organised crime exposure, according to the 2025 Global Organised Crime Index, highlighting relatively lower levels of criminal market activity compared with several regional peers.
The country recorded a criminality score of 3.03 on a 10-point scale, placing it among eight CARICOM member states below the regional average of 4.27. Lower scores indicate less exposure to organised crime networks and illicit markets.
Antigua and Barbuda’s score positions it close to countries such as Barbados (2.90) and St. Kitts and Nevis (3.10), and well below higher-risk jurisdictions including Jamaica (5.93), Guyana (5.78) and Haiti (6.53), which recorded the highest level of criminality in the bloc.
The data, published by the Global Initiative Against Transnational Organised Crime, reflects the prevalence and impact of organised criminal activity, including drug trafficking and other illicit markets.
Despite relatively lower exposure, the broader Caribbean remains a key transit zone for cocaine trafficking, ranking third globally due to its location along major smuggling routes.
The findings suggest that while Antigua and Barbuda faces ongoing regional risks, its level of organised crime activity remains comparatively moderate within the Caribbean context.

@ Rennaisssnce
Do you truly understand the true meaning of the word or you are just one of those REPEAT AFTER ME TYPE
@The RENAISSANCE, with respect, you are not very good at explaining your viewpoints. This seems to be a traight of an ABLP sycophant.
Maybe, just maybe, if you explained your reasoning why you support the ABLP so ardently, then you might get others to follow.
YOU NAH REDy 🤣🤣🤣
