Crime & safety
Filter by crime type. Only types backed by a citable, licensed source are shown with data; the rest are marked “not yet sourced”.
Read this before comparing. Only homicide is Tier A and global (bodies are hard to conceal and its definition converges — the international gold standard). Every other type here is a police-recorded rate (Tier C, European reporting countries only). Recorded ≠ actual: it also reflects how often victims report, how police record, and how the law defines the offence — so a higher recorded rate can mean better reporting, not more danger. These are not “crime levels”.
100 = fewest RECORDED theft offences among covered European countries, 0 = most (recorded ≠ actual — see caution)
Low reliability (Tier C — Survey / proxy). Survey-based, patchy, or proxy metric. Indicative only — coverage gaps and methodology limits are significant. Not a definitive ranking.
