Per cap mas daghan man criminals sa Pinas. ako pangitaon to statistics nga ako nabasahan gahapon.

clearly this is in the number of crimes committed.  per capita would be different.  but i'm more curious about the number of crimes in countries where there is the death penalty compared to countries where this is non-existent. 

interestingly, the statistics can go on and on, like, say, are richer countries more apt to have more crimes?  (the G8 countries are in the top 10!)

The above mentioned report may force one to think whether the crime rate is actually very high in developed nations like Australia, the US, UK and Canada.  But before arriving at a conclusion, one must consider the following factors:

    There may be differences in the quality of recording and managing the data between countries. In developed countries recorded crimes are generally entered in a computerized database and channeled to a central point for analysis. In many less developed countries crime statistics are recorded on paper which can easily result in the loss of some of the statistics.

    The possibility of victims exposing the crime, and the police recording them, differs from country to country. Crime victims are less expected to report crime in a country with a corrupt or ineffective police force than in a country where the police is supportive and dependable. The distances people have to travel to the nearest police station, and the availability of transport to get there, is another factor which can affect crime reporting rates.

Therefore, every country has different legal and criminal justice systems from the other countries in the world. Not only this, crime definitions differ from one country to the next. For example, a serious assault in one country could be recorded as an attempted murder somewhere else. Moreover, what represents a recordable crime in one country might not be against the law in another. So it is nearly impossible to compare the crime statistics of the various countries when every country implies different methods to compile crime statistics and many others maneuver their crime data.  And appallingly some others under-report crimes. Thus, crime statistics are only one measurement of police performance.
