11 Countries with the Highest Crime Rate per Capita in the World: 2016 Rankings

3. India

Score – 63

Up next on our list of countries with the highest crime rate per capita in the world is India, which is an extremely beautiful country, but it’s also one where violent offenses take place, as well as petty theft, for instance. Reports from the United Nations indicate that India ranked among the top nations for assault, homicide, car theft, rape, sexual offenses against children, and managed to rank first in kidnapping cases and total sexual violence. The situation is quite dire, thus, and visitors should be careful when out and about.

In fact, the United States Bureau of Diplomatic Security has issued security reports on several large cities across the Indian nation, such as Mumbai, New Delhi, Kolkata, Hyderabad, and Chennai. For all of these, the crime risk is set for a “medium” level, with mentions of non-violent crimes as being the most frequent.
