Five ways to read the world’s crime data
World · Homicide
Intentional-homicide rate per 100,000 for 190+ countries (UNODC / World Bank), a filled world choropleth built to compare across borders.
World · Organized Crime
The GI-TOC Global Organized Crime Index 2025 for 193 countries, recolourable by any dimension: overall criminality, 15 criminal markets (cocaine, arms, cyber, human trafficking…), 5 actor types, and resilience.
Countries · by district
Sub-national police & statistics data for 25+ countries. 16 render as filled district heatmaps (Germany, France, Czechia, Denmark, Canada, Australia…); the rest as heat points scaled to the country.
United States
A filled state heatmap from the FBI Crime Data Explorer, with a crime-type filter, a two-state comparison, and an overlay of ~17,000 reporting agencies as street-level dots.
Street level
Geolocated incidents as dots for the UK, Czechia, six US cities, and South Australia by suburb; filter by crime type and click any dot for the offence and count.
Filter by crime type
Colour any heatmap by a single offence (theft, homicide, drugs) in that category’s own colour.
Compare side by side
Two US states or two countries, on harmonised measures, with mirrored bars.
Click for detail
Every district, state and incident carries an info box with its value, breakdown and source.
Refreshes at source
A daily pipeline re-fetches each portal at its own cadence; the map shows the current period.
// How it stays honest
The power of open data and transparency
Cross-country layers are converted to counts of a given crime type per 100,000 inhabitants. Regional detail within a single country shows the absolute number of recorded offences, and those counts are never compared across countries.
Never compare raw counts
Cross-country layers are per-capita and harmonised (UNODC, Eurostat, the OC Index). Country layers use each system’s own counts, comparable within a country, not between countries.
Honest granularity
Every layer states its tier (geolocated incidents, regional aggregates, or national figures) and shows its source, area and date. Aggregates are never drawn as if they were precise points.
Official open data only
42 sources, each from a named government or inter-governmental portal, added one at a time after a data-access audit. An automated pipeline refreshes them from source.
