<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Maxfli, post: 2407282, member: 69089&quot;]The robbery stats came from this site, which uses UN data from 2010:</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://www.theglobaleconomy.com/rankings/robery/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.theglobaleconomy.com/rankings/robery/" rel="nofollow">http://www.theglobaleconomy.com/rankings/robery/</a></p><p><br /></p><p>The assault info is a little less reliable; taken from a chart comparing assault (or as they called it, &quot;contact crime&quot;) rates in 17 industrialized countries. Source identified as &quot;Dutch Ministry of Justice&quot; and dated 2001. Can&#039;t find a link and don&#039;t want to take the time to upload the graphic.</p><p><br /></p><p>However, in searching for a link, I came across another listing that ranks countries by ALL crime per capita. US is #22, and many of the countries ranking higher are the same as those in my previous post regarding assault:</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://www.nationmaster.com/country-info/stats/Crime/Total-crimes-per-1000" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.nationmaster.com/country-info/stats/Crime/Total-crimes-per-1000" rel="nofollow">http://www.nationmaster.com/country-info/stats/Crime/Total-crimes-per-1000</a></p><p><br /></p><p>I doubt the US would fare as well in homocide rates, but that particular type of crime didn&#039;t seem as germaine to the OP&#039;s concerns.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
