Frequently Asked Questions

What data sources does Map of Crimes use?

Map of Crimes aggregates official crime statistics from government sources — police criminal statistics (PKS), national statistics offices, and interior ministries. Each country page lists its specific data source with direct links.

Which country has the highest homicide rate?

Among the 30 countries tracked, Ecuador has the highest homicide rate at 50.91 per 100,000 residents (9,216 reported homicides). Homicide rates are the most comparable crime statistic across countries.

How often is the data updated?

Data freshness varies by country. The most recent data available is from 2025, while other countries have data through 2023. Each country page shows its specific data period.

What crime categories are tracked?

Six standardized categories: theft, assault, homicide, robbery, drug offenses, and sexual assault. Not all countries report all categories. Rates are calculated per 100,000 residents to enable comparison.

Can I compare crime rates between countries?

Yes, but with important caveats. Crime rates are affected by differences in legal definitions, counting methods (victims vs. incidents), and reporting practices between countries. Homicide rates are the most comparable. For other categories, comparisons within the same country (between regions) are more reliable than cross-country comparisons.

About the Data

Due to differences in legal definitions, counting methods, and reporting practices, cross-country comparisons should be interpreted with caution.
