Historical dataset showing Switzerland crime rate per 100K population by year from 1990 to 2021.

Historical dataset showing Switzerland murder/homicide rate per 100K population by year from 1990 to 2021.

In Europe, the Baltic countries of Latvia and Lithuania had the highest and third highest homicide rates respectively in 2022. Latvia had the highest rate at over four per 100,000 inhabitants. Meanwhile, the lowest homicide rate was found in Liechtenstein, with zero murders The most dangerous country worldwide Saint Kitts and Nevis is the world's most dangerous country to live in in terms of murder rate. The Caribbean country had a homicide rate of 65 per 100,000 inhabitants. Nine of the 10 countries with the highest murder rates worldwide are located in Latin America and the Caribbean. Whereas Celaya in Mexico was listed as the city with the highest murder rate worldwide, Colima in Mexico was the city with the highest homicide rate in Latin America, so the numbers vary from source to source. Nevertheless, several Mexican cities rank among the deadliest in the world when it comes to intentional homicides. 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 countries such as Ukraine or the DR Congo. A different definition of murder in these circumstances could change the rate significantly.

The Security System Services industry has received a boost from European government security expenditure, an uptick in public and private sector demand, and high-profile events like the 2024 Paris Olympic Games, which pumped significant resources into modern alarm installations, AI surveillance and drone detection. Hiking crime rates across Europe, including spikes in theft and burglaries, have spurred both households and businesses to prioritise robust security, underpinning steady sales for providers. Overall, security systems revenue in Europe is projected to rise at a compound annual rate of 0.5% over the five years through 2025, including an estimated jump of 3% in 2025 to €22.7 billion. Innovative businesses like Verisure and Ajax Systems have improved their product offerings, bringing AI-enabled sensors, digital locks and highly responsive monitoring to a wider customer base. The industry’s focus on automation, integration and remote monitoring, supported by the proliferation of IoT devices, has redefined security provision and provided a platform for growth. The industry’s profit has remained steady amid recurring monitoring contracts, heightening sales from government and commercial clients and tech-driven efficiencies. Furthermore, strained police resources and EU policy initiatives to bolster public safety have allowed security system services to fill critical security gaps, particularly in retail and urban environments. Security system revenue in Europe is forecast to swell at a compound annual rate of 4.8% over the five years through 2030, reaching €28.8 billion. The European Commission forecasts modest yet reliable GDP growth and easing inflation across major markets like France, Italy and Spain, which should release pent-up consumer and commercial spending on security infrastructure. Sustained public investment in construction and critical infrastructure, backed by landmark EU projects and increased EIB lending, is set to drive installations of CCTV, access control and 24/7 monitoring in both new and refurbished sites. The integration of AI is expected to transform intrusion detection, alarm accuracy and monitoring services. As the industry leverages AI-powered solutions and subscription-based models, it’s likely to see both higher penetration and recurring revenue streams, even as competition and demand for end-to-end, compliant systems intensify.

Co-ordinated by the Statistical Service of the Ministry of Justice of the Netherlands, this study aims at obtaining comparable data on crime in various countries. Since official statistics provide information that is heavily dependent on the organization of the police and the justice system in each country, the study's approach is to study the incidence of crime in the population - the degree of victimization in the population - by means of an international survey of the population. 14 countries participated in the 1989 survey: USA, Canada, Australia, France, England, Scotland, Northern Ireland, Spain, Federal Republic of Germany, Switzerland, Netherlands, Belgium, Norway and Finland, as well as two cities, Warsaw (Poland) and Surabaja (Indonesia). Japan participated on the basis of a somewhat modified questionnaire and sampling. The survey was resumed in 1992 in the following countries: England, the Netherlands, Belgium, Finland, USA, Canada, Australia, and additionally Sweden, Italy, New Zealand, Poland, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Georgia, Estonia, Indonesia and Costa Rica. On the other hand, Scotland, Northern Ireland, Germany, Switzerland, France, Norway, Spain and Japan didn't take part. Selected cities in the following countries also took part: Argentina, Albania, India, South Africa, Russia, Slovenia, Uganda, Brazil, Philippines, Egypt, Tanzania, Tunisia, China. The following crimes were investigated by the investigation: car theft, motorcycle theft, moped theft and bicycles theft, burglary, robbery, simple theft and pickpocketing, sexual assault, assault and battery, threats. Respondents who were victims of such crimes were asked a few brief questions about the place of the offense, the material consequences, the report to the police, the satisfaction with the police action, and the received assistance. All the interviewees were also asked to express themselves about their fear of crime, their satisfaction with the local police, their preventive attitude towards crime, how severely they would sentence a 21-year-old repeat burglar. Note that the questionnaire has evolved between successive surveys. After 1992, the survey was resumed twice at the international level and once at the Swiss level. In total, the following survey waves were completed: 1989 international survey (with Swiss participation) 1992 international survey (without Swiss participation) 1996 international survey (with Swiss participation) 1998 Swiss survey 2000 international survey (with Swiss participation)

Coordonnée par le service de statistique du Ministère de la justice des Pays-Bas, cette recherche vise à obtenir dans divers pays des données comparables sur la criminalité. Comme la statistique officielle fournit des informations fortement dépendantes de l'organisation de la police et de la justice dans chaque pays, la voie choisie consiste à étudier l'incidence de la criminalité dans la population - le degré de victimisation de celle-ci - au moyen d'une enquête internationale auprès de la population. 14 pays ont participé à l'enquête de 1989: USA, Canada, Australie, France, Angleterre, Ecosse, Irlande du Nord, Espagne, République fédérale d'Allemagne, Suisse, Pays-Bas, Belgique, Norvège, Finlande, ainsi que deux villes, Varsovie (Pologne) et Surabaja (Indonésie). La Japon a pris part sur la base d'un questionnaire et d'un échantillonnage quelque peu modifiés. L'enquête a été reprise en 1992 dans les pays suivants: Angleterre, Pays-Bas, Belgique, Finlande, USA, Canada, Australie, auxquels sont venus s'ajouter la Suède, l'Italie, la Nouvelle Zélande, la Pologne, la République Tchèque, la Slovaquie, la Géorgie, l'Estonie, l'Indonésie et le Costa Rica. Par contre, l'Ecosse, l'Irlande du Nord, l'Allemagne, la Suisse, la France, la Norvège, l'Espagne et le Japon ont renoncé. Des villes sélectionnées dans les pays suivants ont également pris part: Argentine, Albanie, Inde, Afrique du Sud, Russie, Slovénie, Ouganda, Brésil, Philippines, Egypte, Tanzanie, Tunisie, Chine. Les crimes et délits suivants ont été pris en compte par l'enquête: le vol de voiture, motos, motocyclettes, vélomoteurs et bicyclettes, le vol par effraction, le brigandage, le vol simple et à la tire, les violences sexuelles, les coups et blessures, les menaces. Aux répondants victimes de tels crimes ont été posées quelques courtes questions sur le lieu du délit, les conséquences matérielles, la dénonciation à la police, la satisfaction quant à l'action de la police, l'assistance reçue. L’ensemble des interviewés avaient en outre à s'exprimer sur la peur du crime, la satisfaction vis-à-vis de la police locale, leur attitude préventive face au crime, la peine à laquelle ils condamneraient un cambrioleur récidiviste de 21 ans. A noter que le questionnaire a évolué entre les enquêtes successives. Après 1992, l'enquête a été reprise deux fois au niveau international et une fois au niveau suisse. En tout, les vagues de relevé de données suivantes ont été réalisées: 1989 relevé international (avec participation suisse) 1992 relevé international (sans participation suisse) 1996 relevé international (avec participation suisse) 1998 relevé suisse 2000 relevé international (avec participation suisse) Co-ordinated by the Statistical Service of the Ministry of Justice of the Netherlands, this study aims at obtaining comparable data on crime in various countries.
