In 2025, Pietermaritzburg in South Africa ranked as the world's most dangerous city with a crime rate of 82 per 100,000 inhabitants. Five of the 10 cities with the highest crime rates worldwide are found in South Africa. The list does not include countries where war and conflict exist. South Africa dominates crime statistics When looking at crime rates, among the 10 most dangerous cities in the world, half of them are found in South Africa. The country is struggling with extremely high levels of inequality, and is struggling with high levels of crime and power outages, harming the country's economy and driving more people into unemployment and poverty.

In 2023, around 3,640.56 violent crimes per 100,000 residents were reported in Oakland, California. This made Oakland the most dangerous city in the United States in that year.

Turks and Caicos Islands saw a murder rate of ***** per 100,000 inhabitants, making it the most dangerous country for this kind of crime worldwide as of 2024.

Meanwhile, Colima in Mexico was the most dangerous city for murders. Violent conflicts worldwide Notably, these figures do not include deaths that resulted from war or a violent conflict. While there is a persistent number of conflicts worldwide, resulting casualties are not considered murders. Partially due to this reason, homicide rates in Latin America are higher than those in Afghanistan or Syria. A different definition of murder in these circumstances could change the rate significantly in some countries. Causes of death Also, noteworthy is that murders are usually not random events. In the United States, the circumstances of murders are most commonly arguments, followed by narcotics incidents and robberies. Additionally, murders are not a leading cause of death. Heart diseases, strokes and cancer pose a greater threat to life than violent crime.

What countries are most dangerous for journalists? Both conventional wisdom and extant literature on repression, democra cy, and reporter fatalities suggest that more open political systems should make journalists safer. However, we argue that a more open political context actually makes it more dangerous for journalists because they are freer to pursue stories that put them at risk and are thus more likely to b e killed by actors trying to avoid the spotlight and exposure. Conversely, cl osed autocratic regimes provide fewer opportunities to pursue dangerous lea ds, thereby reducing the chance of being killed. Using novel cross-natio nal data on the number of journalist killings between 1992 and 2008, we fi nd that these arguments are generally supported when controlling for other factors that affect the killing of journalists, such as poor governance and political conflict.
