DEFINITION: People victimized by crime (as a % of the total population). Data refer to people victimized by one or more of 11 crimes recorded in the survey: robbery, burglary, attempted burglary, car theft, car vandalism, bicycle theft, sexual assault, theft from car, theft of personal property, assault and threats. Crime statistics are often better indicators of prevalence of law enforcement and willingness to report crime, than actual prevalence.

"I would say this could be the list of the countries with the most and best organised and active police and crimeregistration in the world."

Yes, probably in Asia and Africa or Muslims countries even Latin America, Chile Brazil, Mexico... the information is censored to keep the face in these statistics

What a ridiculous list. I would say this could be the list of the countries with the most and best organised and active police and crimeregistration in the world. Pakistan is not on the list, and even Thailand is not on the list. What more to say. Statistics as this is almost a crime in itself.

I wonder why isn't there one Muslim Country listed amoungst the top 20, whereas many are mentioned in several other statistics and facts.

I'm surprised none is mentioned in the top 10 of this list!

Those crime rates must be a reflection of the quaility of reporting and transparency of governments and institutions of developed countries versus 3rd world countries such as South Africa and India, where other websites show the crime rates and types of crime are out of control.

"Crime statistics are often better indicators of prevalence of law enforcement and willingness to report crime, than actual prevalence."

Indeed. It's no coincidence that most of these are countries with relatively trust-worthy police forces.

Somethings is wrong here South Africa not on this list? All i have ever heard is that SA has the highest crime rate in the world. I dont think this list is correct! When was the last time it was updated???

Oy - surely South Africa should be on this list? We do crime as well as we do rugby... these stats look really dodgy to me as Oz is winning and New Zealand, Sweden and Denmark feature and we don't!

One must drop there preconceptions when dealing with Facts. Beginning with the Myth that America has the most crime in the world. France does have a higher crime rate than post people think. Due to slew of immigration from 3rd world countries and an unarmed population. Facts are facts. There are slums and ghettoes in France and areas that law-enforcement have deemed no-go-zones. This is reality live with it.
