Crime Rate by Country 2024

Snapshot

  • Crime rates are influenced by several factors, such as poverty, unemployment, and law enforcement strictness.

  • Countries like Venezuela, Papua New Guinea, and South Africa have high crime rates due to issues like corruption, economic changes, and social challenges.

  • Low crime rates in countries like Switzerland and Japan are attributed to effective law enforcement and in some cases, restrictive gun laws.

  • Lower GOCI scores are preferable.
  • The Global Organized Crime Index (GOCI) is created each year by compiling data from a wide range of indicators across three subcategories:
  • Criminal Markets, from financial crimes and cyber crimes to human trafficking, arms trafficking, environmental and drug crimes
  • Criminal Actors such as mafia-style groups, criminal networks, and state-embedded actors
  • Resilience, which includes the country's judicial system, law enforcement, and victim and witness support
  • Crime Index and Safety Index are compiled semi-annually by statistics site Numbeo, and range from 0-100. Lower scores are preferable in the Crime Index, while higher scores are preferable in the Safety Index. Mid-2023 values for both indices are displayed.
