It is very important when traveling to be aware if the target destination is among the countries of this selection, the 10 countries with the highest crime rate per capita in the world. Some places are safer than others, and crime rates discussed certainly do not apply in all areas of these countries, but it is still a factor to be aware of. For this selection, United Nations data were verified, although it should be noted that only the data were aligned between 2010 to 2014. Some countries did not report their numbers over a long period and rates may have changed in the meantime. And it should also be pointed out that there were legislative differences between these countries, meaning that, for example, considered sexual crime in some nations, is not considered so in others. As long as the data has police reports at its roots, it stands to reason that the selection, as thorough as it is, may not be entirely accurate due to the various reasons. For example, there are many nations where reporting crimes is not exactly something done on a regular basis, so the numbers are not so accurate. For this selection, United Nations reports on the following crimes were verified: homicide, rape, total sexual violence, motor vehicle theft, private car theft, domestic assault, robbery, robbery, robbery, and kidnapping. Countries with the highest rates per 100,000 people scored the highest. Source: mathgeneral.com
