; Total kidnappings for years 1992-1999. The statistics are based on those cases about which Hiscox has obtained reasonably reliable information and do not purport to represent the full extent of the problem. Please bear in mind that only a tiny fraction [10% ?] of all kidnapping cases are reported to authorities for fear that it will trigger further kidnappings.; Homicide rates among youths aged 10–29 years by country or area: most recent year available (variable 1990–1999).; Homicide rate per 100,000 population aged 10–29 years; Data for 2003. Number of prisoners held. Different reporting practices mean that that statistics, whilst broadly correct, are not exact. For example, the U.S. Bureau of Justice Statistics reporst that a further 110,284 juveniles were held in custodial institutions at October 2000 and a further 1,912 in 'jails in Indian country' at 30.6.2001.; Data for 2003. Number of prisoners held per 100,000 population.; The percentage of the prison population that is being held pre-trial / on remand. Data for 2003.; The percentage of the offical prison capacity filled. This is obtained by comparing the number of prisoners in a nation to the offical capacity of the nation's prison system. Data for 2003.; The piracy losses are calculated using the known size of the legitimate software market of the country and using the piracy rate to derive the retail value of the software that was not paid for (Data is for 2004).; Piracy rate - the number of pirated software units divided by the total number of units put into use (Data is for 2004).;
; Number of unpaid parking fines incurred in Britain in 1991 by diplomats protected by diplomatic immunity. According to Mr Lennox-Boyd, Forty alleged serious offences by persons entitled to diplomatic immunity were drawn to the attention of the Foreign and Commonwealth Office in 1991. "Serious offences" are defined in accordance with the Report to the Foreign Affairs Committee "The Abuse of Diplomatic Immunities and Privileges"--1985--as offences falling into a category which would in certain circumstances attract a maximum penalty of six months or more imprisonment. The majority involved drinking and driving, and shoplifting. Seven diplomats were withdrawn from their posts in Britain in 1991 following alleged offences, as against six in the previous year.
