Somewhere in Columbia for sure
Do you mean LA?
I would have said that too, think there were more murders per square mile than anywhere else. Either that or I wasn't paying attention to Ross Kemp the other week
Why is that?
Kingston, Jamaica. For murder anyway.
Rio is up there as well:
"It notes that while 467 minors were killed in Israel and Palestine from 1987 to 2001 (date which includes the first Palestinian intifada), 3,937 minors died as a result of gang warfare in Rio de Janeiro alone. An outstanding 8 to 1 ratio."

Because Compton is an area in LA, like Peckham or Greenwich are areas of London.
My guess: somewhere in Cental/South America; Bogota, Sao Paulo, Rio etc.
Kingston and Jo'burg aren't bad shouts either, they'd be up there somewhere I reckon. Maybe somewhere in Eastern Europe, up Sarajevo or somewhere like that.
That's if we're talking about violence in 'peaceful' counties, ie those where a war isn't currently being waged (don't you just love that word?! It's the only context I've ever seen it be used it, anyway, I digress...)
