About This Data

Homicide rates are intentional homicides per 100,000 people, compiled by the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime and published by the World Bank. Homicide is the most reliably comparable crime statistic across countries; definitions of other offences vary widely between legal systems. Travel advisory levels (1–4) are issued by the US Department of State and reflect overall risk to travelers, including crime, terrorism, civil unrest, health, and natural disasters. Each country page shows the most recent available year for every metric.
