Highest & Lowest Homicide Rates by Country | 1990 - 2021 🔫📊

What are the most dangerous and safest countries in the world? Watch as animated stats and bar chart race ranks the highest (most dangerous) and lowest (safest) homicide rates by country, categorized by the following regions: Asia, North America, South America, MENA (Middle East and North Africa), Africa, Oceania, and Europe.

The Americas continue to report high homicide rates. Young men are especially at risk, with a homicide rate for men aged 18 to 19 estimated at 46 per 100,000 – far higher than the risk faced by their peers in other regions. Firearms are also involved far more often in homicides in the Americas than in other parts of the world.

By contrast, Europe has seen a decline in the homicide rate by 63 per cent since 2002 and by 38 per cent since 1990. The rate in Asia has fallen by 36 per cent since 1990. Data collection overall has improved since the previous Global Study on Homicide, but there remain serious gaps in the availability of reliable data for African countries. There are also indications that homicide is underreported in the official statistics in Pacific countries.
