Recorded robbery rate
Tier C· IndicativePolice-recorded robbery offences per 100,000 population (Eurostat, European countries only). Recorded, not actual — see the caution.
100 = fewest RECORDED robbery 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.
Mixed reference years (2012–2024). This metric uses each country's most recent available year, so countries are not all measured in the same year — cross-country comparison is weakened. Each row shows its own reference year.
How this score is built
These are POLICE-RECORDED offences — not actual crime. A recorded rate is how many offences police *recorded* per 100,000 people. That depends on (1) how many victims report, (2) how police record incidents, and (3) how the offence is legally defined — and all three vary enormously between countries. So a high recorded rate can mean more crime or more reporting / broader law, and a low rate can mean victims simply don't come forward. Recorded-crime rates partly measure institutional trust, not just crime. Read this as an institutional signal, never a danger ranking, and never as "crime level".
Scope: European reporting countries only (Eurostat; roughly three dozen countries). There is no Americas, Asia, Africa, or Oceania data here — those are shown as "no data", not filled in.
Why homicide is Tier A but this is Tier C: bodies are hard to conceal and the definition of homicide converges internationally, so homicide counts are comparable — the international gold standard. Recorded counts of other offences are not.
Direction is higher_worse and we percentile-rank (100 = fewest recorded among covered countries, 0 = most). Latest year per country; earlier years form the sparkline.

The map is mostly grey because only 38 countries have data — this is expected, not a rendering error.
