Background With 6.5 million crimes reported, Germany had the 3rd highest number of <a href="http://www.nationmaster.com/graph/cri_tot_cri-crime-total-crimes">total crimes</a>&nbsp;in 2002, behind the US (11.8 million) and the UK (6.52 million). Strangely, it not only had the highest number of <a href="http://www.nationmaster.com/graph/cri_dru_off-crime-drug-offences">drug related crimes</a>, but figures show that the frequency of incidences is 2.5 times that of the population - with 250,000 drug crimes per 100,000 of the population. Violent crime remains relatively low, however, with the rate of <a href="http://www.nationmaster.com/graph/cri_gun_vio_hom_ove_hom_rat_per_100_pop-rate-per-100-000-pop">homicides per capita involving firearms</a>&nbsp;just 1.6 per 100,000 of the population. Most recent figures show that Mauritius has a total of just under 36,000 <a href="http://www.nationmaster.com/graph/cri_tot_cri-crime-total-crimes">crimes</a>, placing it 61st in a table of 82 countries. However, serious crime is not a major concern, with just 4 youth related <a href="http://www.nationmaster.com/graph/cri_mur_com_by_you-crime-murders-committed-by-youths">murders</a> and 2 <a href="http://www.nationmaster.com/graph/cri_man-crime-manslaughters">manslaughters</a> recorded in 2001.
