Hi Aaron, the list is a compilation of available comparable data. Statistics are hard to come by, especially in developing countries where data management is poor. The specific problems with stats on crime and the policing of crime are discussed in a concise article at: http://www.iss.org.za/Pubs/CrimeIndex/01Vol5No3/Figure.html. You may like to read that.
