Yet, the British Virgin Islands which are literally less than three miles away have a murder rate which is SIX times less.
8.3 per 100K vs. 50 per 100K.

What is the difference?

In the BVIs the typical murder is some wife/husband killing their spouse. It is a vey safe country to visit.

I suspect the difference is the level of corruption in the government.

The British Virgin Islands are a British territory, with the governor appointed by the British Monarch. The assembly is elected locally. It has a constitution which went into effect in 2007.
