Honestly, I suspect that in the first decades of this statistics many countries were simply not reported for lack of data or significantly under-reported.
El Salvador went from First Place in this list in the 2000's to be one of the safest countries in the world. We sacrificed some liberties but believe me it's So Worth it. For instance, No Gang affiliations, no gang 'art' or gang tattoos, No gang music, zero tolerance for drugs smuggling.
Only people who don’t live nor have ever been to El Salvador call it “Salvador” and no, it’s not anywhere near as violent any more. I can attest to that.

Colombia had an internal war for over 5 decades. The 52-year armed conflict between the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC) and the government officially ended with a peace accord in 2016. As a result, there was a significant decline in murder rates.

These stats don't count murder by government or genocide because if it did Cambodia in the mid to late 1970s along with Rwanda in 1994 would have far and away the highest murder rate.

Today Ecuador is now on this list. Ecuador's homicide rate quadrupled from 5.8 per 100,000 people in 2018 to 26.7 in 2022, compared with 25.9 in Colombia and 23.8 in Mexico.
Some people will always fault the immigrants, instead of their own countries struggles with drugs use, production, traffickihg, and associated violence.
You can see murders spike in Colombia during the mid 80's which is when the Medellin Cartel started operating in full force. They slow down between 94 and 97 with Escobar's death, rebound slightly with the FARC violence spike in 2001-2002 and then start dropping as the government waged war on FARC until they surrendered in 2017, making it the greatest drop in murders in Colombia. It's super interesting how it closely correlates with conflict.
that's not true, the homicide rate was 4.6 per 100k in 1950, and it was 6.8 per 100k in 2021 so about 48% higher. other crimes like rayp and robbery are also up @@-Subtle-

By the trime I was born in 1972 it had chilled right out, and as a kid growing up in Perth I remember my parents being stunned when a murder happened in our city, hadn't happened in many years. These days Australia has only 0.7 per 1000000, very low in world standards but still too bloody high.
Australia was originally a penal colony, most of its population were prisoners with the exception of some British nobility sent there to govern and be the ruling class of the country.

Wow, South Africa didn't appear on the list during the 50's, 60's, 70's and 80's AT ALL, only to make a spectacular first appearance in SECOND PLACE during the 90's. I wonder what happened in the 1990's to cause a phenomenal spike in their murder rate?
According to Chat GPT the murder rates in Finland in the 50's and 60's were high because of high alcohol consumption and people moving from the countryside to cities which created social tensions, also it was post-war recovery time which increased violence.
Also, in DRC, despite the war that happened their crime rate was never as high as South Africa. I remember learning a while back that you were more likely to get shot in South Africa than DRC ( which was a war zone at that time).

The UK is one of the safest countries in the world, it's murder rate is currently 1 per 100,000 people. It has less than 16% of the US murder rate, half that of Canada and less than France or Sweden. Even in the troubles the UK was an incredibly safe place. In Northern Ireland 3,568 people died in the 41 years of the troubles, (1117 of those were members of the British security forces) that is 87 people per year. If we take the average population of Northern Ireland to be approximately 1.6 million that would give around 5.4 murders per 100,000, that's 1 less than the 6.4 current murder rate of the USA, nowhere near enough to get on this list. If you take the whole of the UK population the murder from 1969 to 2010 averaged around 1.4 per 100,000 peaking in 2002 at 1.87, it has been falling steadily since the early 2000's.

Soviet state statistics always had separate data for its republics (they had flags different from the shown here), and the Russian SFSR indeed had higher murder rate than the USSR in average.

I lived in SA during the 80's and 90's, i can say that crime did increase post apartheid, however the crime was insane even during the 80's, which for some reason isnt reflected in this video, making me doubt the video uploader used nore than one source of data. I suspect that there may be some difficulty getting accurate crime stats from the 70's and 80's in SA, as the apartheid government did as good a job as possible keeping the crime contained within the black areas. It's possible alot of the crime in the black areas was either not fully calculated, or the aparthheid government kept the true crime stats from being published, so as not to incur even more international backlash. Truth is South Africas crime was really bad ( and it was bad since the 1970's), Apartheid did keep the crime from spilling over into white areas for the most part, but post aparthheid the crime just spread everywhere and so basically nowhere is "safe" anymore in SA.

In many countries dictatorships ended. When a fascist or a totalitarian regime with a strong police control comes to an end AND there's a huge social inequality, you'll see a great amount of crime and murders.

All the countries at the end are mostly Hispanic or black.
Today Ecuador is now on this list. Ecuador's homicide rate quadrupled from 5.8 per 100,000 people in 2018 to 26.7 in 2022, compared with 25.9 in Colombia and 23.8 in Mexico.

You can see murders spike in Colombia during the mid 80's which is when the Medellin Cartel started operating in full force. They slow down between 94 and 97 with Escobar's death, rebound slightly with the FARC violence spike in 2001-2002 and then start dropping as the government waged war on FARC until they surrendered in 2017, making it the greatest drop in murders in Colombia. It's super interesting how it closely correlates with conflict.
that's not true, the homicide rate was 4.6 per 100k in 1950, and it was 6.8 per 100k in 2021 so about 48% higher. other crimes like rayp and robbery are also up @@-Subtle-
I was surprised at first to see that Australia was in the top 15 murder rates in the world until the middle 60s, but then I remember my grandfather (bon in 1918) talking about what a rough place Oz was when he was growing up. and my father *(born in 1947) also talked about what a rough country Australia was when he was a kid. By the trime I was born in 1972 it had chilled right out, and as a kid growing up in Perth I remember my parents being stunned when a murder happened in our city, hadn't happened in many years. These days Australia has only 0.7 per 1000000, very low in world standards but still too bloody high.
Well, Australia was a place for British prisoners.
Australia was originally a penal colony, most of its population were prisoners with the exception of some British nobility sent there to govern and be the ruling class of the country.
@@SomeRandomGuy630 So what does that have to do with murder rates today? Those prisoners arrived between 1788 and 1868, and I'm sure that not all of them were murderers and none of them are still alive.

Despite 30 years of the The Troubles in Northern Ireland the United Kingdom didn't appear in this table of disgrace.
Obviously legitimate wars weren't included.
The UK is one of the safest countries in the world, it's murder rate is currently 1 per 100,000 people. It has less than 16% of the US murder rate, half that of Canada and less than France or Sweden. Even in the troubles the UK was an incredibly safe place. In Northern Ireland 3,568 people died in the 41 years of the troubles, (1117 of those were members of the British security forces) that is 87 people per year. If we take the average population of Northern Ireland to be approximately 1.6 million that would give around 5.4 murders per 100,000, that's 1 less than the 6.4 current murder rate of the USA, nowhere near enough to get on this list. If you take the whole of the UK population the murder from 1969 to 2010 averaged around 1.4 per 100,000 peaking in 2002 at 1.87, it has been falling steadily since the early 2000's.
The U.K. has unarmed police still. That is a remarkable achievement in 2023London with a population of 8:31 I 9 million people has about two Murders per week. Again that is incomprehensible.

I suspect that there may be some difficulty getting accurate crime stats from the 70's and 80's in SA, as the apartheid government did as good a job as possible keeping the crime contained within the black areas. It's possible alot of the crime in the black areas was either not fully calculated, or the aparthheid government kept the true crime stats from being published, so as not to incur even more international backlash.
Truth is South Africas crime was really bad ( and it was bad since the 1970's), Apartheid did keep the crime from spilling over into white areas for the most part, but post aparthheid the crime just spread everywhere and so basically nowhere is "safe" anymore in SA.

Mostly bcs Switzerland have extremly strict regulations about guns and behavior...
@@adrianzanoli Why do Switzerland's "extremely strict regulations about guns and behavior" work? Could demographics have something to do with it? 🤔🤔
If Detroit, Baltimore, Memphis, Newark, New Orleans, St. Louis, East St. Louis, Cleveland, K.C., D.C., Philadelphia, Little Rock, Milwaukee, Oakland, Gary, Mobile, Jackson, Camden, Birmingham, Flint, Louisville, Cincinnati, Atlanta, Buffalo, etc. enacted those same "regulations about guns and behavior," do you really think that those cities would suddenly become as safe as Switzerland? 🙄🙄
Would like to see an updated version.
Nice to know Puerto Rico is an independent country now.
What suprised me was mexico, i always thought it was way higher than it was. Also after 2000 there is barely any european country on the list at all.
How about a video where you show the profits made by the arms industry showing also the selling of weapons to both sides
This was the saddest competition ever. The winner was the biggest loser.
That unusual feeling when your glad your country doesn't appear in one of these graph videos at any point.
Europeans are so lucky... Almost all latin American countries and some cities in the USA suffer from a lot of homicides and crime. People couldn't walk alone even at day, because we would get robbed, murdered, or something else. I hope one day our stats will be low... 😕
@@AngelMartinez-mg1ok Latin America didn't have WWI or WWII so the involved Europeans have by far way larger genocide and deaths statistics at any rate than any of those countries combined, so be my guest and stop the unnecessary condescending attitude bro...
Right on! I get tired of Europeans acting so self rightist.@@castlebound2010
@@AngelMartinez-mg1ok It's entirely do to demographics.
@@castlebound2010 Murder is something else & clearly defined, which is usually very similar around the globe. You're comparing apples with pears.
It's incredible that until 1982 Brazil didn't even appear on the list, then it appears suddenly and in second position. What the hell happened in this country?
Drugs
SOCIALISM!!! It has real bad effect.
Oil crisis of the late 70's had it's effect too. In the US I think you guys don't get affected so much, like your country is really stable economically no matter what happens in the world, but other countries have their economies flung about by events happening beyond them. When people don't have work or food they're really stressed out and crime is exacerbated
Vivia uma ditadura e como todas as ditaduras elas não apresentavam os números reais. Com certeza já poderia estar na lista anteriormente.
Socialism
It would also be interesting to see the safest countries on Earth. Japan, iceland, et.
Never expected Costa Rica to be in the top 10 for so long during the 70s and 80s 😱
Brazil didn’t figure in the charts until the mid 80's. That’s insane, wtf happened.
well, we had a dictatorship going on between the 60s and 70s.. not only people were afraid of getting arrested back then but also maybe there were a lack of data and numbers are not that precise
The left took the power. Im brazilian

In India murder is categorised as suicide in most of the cases to save investigation.
Are you nuts? I agree Indian judiciary is pathetic, but this is too much!
They also put suicides into the gun violence category in the US ...neither one are the same and are causes of two different issues yet they still do it anyways
Whatever the victim was doing was 'asking to get killed'?

It would be interesting to try to correlate the growth periods overall to something, as well as the shrinkage periods, overall, to something. That "something" would seem to be independent and seperate to Rule of Law and social and economic advancement as factors primarily determining relative ranking dropouts.
Didn't know finland was a rude boy. Now is the most peaceful country on earth and most happiness
I would have expected Mexico, in recent years, to be much higher on the list. Maybe, that's the impression we get, from the horrendous murder rate along the border, due to the drug cartels, while the rest of the country is much less violent.
Won't you take me to... FUNKYTOWN... 🔪😠
It only fell off because its murder rate was exceeded by others, not because the situation improved.
This list is only up to 2017, Murder in general has decreased much more in Mexico.
Do not understand how Colombia lead the graph up to 1970 then totally disappears then reappears top in 1975
Me gustaría ver el rating de países que perpetran y donde se perpertran más masacres.
Man, Mexico is killing it!!!
See why I don't want to go to Mexico??
Nobody needs You in México. Believe me.
Depends where you go . Merida is safer than most cities in the U.S.
Jamaica is also up there, yet i feel safer there than in some parts of Germany.
I'm from El Salvador and extremely happy my country is no longer on top of this list. Since 2019 and thanks to the hard work of the current government, crime has declined immensely. where there is a will, there is a way.
I went to El Salvador this July against the advice of my family, and it was wonderful. Beautiful place with super friendly people and I never felt in danger not even in San Salvador. I’ve been all over Central America and Mexico and Colombia, and El Salvador is my favourite so far!
Tu presidente debe ser el presidente de todo Latinoamérica
El salvador no está ni en el top 50 de víctimas, aquí es por rateo, osea que al tener tan poca gente, un solo asesinato ya dispara las estadísticas, si buscas un top por países realmente afectados por el crimen están solo Colombia y México de latam, luego africanos y norte europeos
Interesting how El Salvador 🇸🇻 was soo violent and now the safest in the Americans behind Canada 🙏
Love the educational and entertainment values these videos have, as always. I would have liked to see each year incorporated into the average, instead of every year starting fresh. With the yearly resets the data was too volatile and all but meaningless unless you were actively remembering previous years. By adding each subsequent year into the average, we would have seen a truer rise and fall of each country’s murder rates. Maybe it would have been less exciting (with Columbia probably leading for the entire video), but a better representation nonetheless.
I was just thinking about all the individuals behind those statistics.
South America, Central America, and Africa. Must be something in the water
Colonialism
Yeah wypipo is at fault. Wewuz kangz.
It's the N blood, all of those countries have high amount of Ns and their derivates (mulatos, zambos)
O intervencionismo no? Al fin y al cabo desde fuera han puesto gobiernos asesinos a lo largo de sudamerica. Lo que me pregunto es por qué las potencias dejaron que usa ganara poder, lo deberían haber fragmentado en sus primeros años. Posiblemente todo esto no se vería igual.
Wow at first I thought there was a huge worldwide spike in 2016 then realised the chart was moving to scale
How much of this is due to changes in how thoroughly or honestly murders were reported? That sudden surge in South Africa and all its enclosed countries in 1990 seems suspicioud.
Cómo siempre México dando la cara por latinoamérica
Viva Mexico
Esto no es absolutamente nada de lo que tengas que hacer alarde o estar orgulloso!! Esto es homicidios por población!! Es sarcasmo verdad?!
No wonder colombians have a different perspective on many things. Great people. Tough as hell
Colombia had an internal war for over 5 decades, a peace agreement was signed in 2016, hence the drop in murder rate. Cheers!
What are your sources of data? I'd like to understand why on two periods there's absence of data in Colombia.
Wow. Finland was pretty high for a long time. Had no idea about this ....
It was mostly due to the many wars and the lingering first and second generation PTSD. We have not have organised crime, drugs etc. to speak of, just alcoholic men. Our murder rates have come down for decades now.
Interesting how the murder rate in South Africa suddenly spiked at the height of the anti-apartheid struggle (when ANC and Inkatha followers were waging an all-out war in the Johannesburg townships) and after that remained in the top ten -- the death penalty was abolished in 1995. I'd love to know in which op the top ten countries there was no capital punishment.
Capitol punishment has nothing to do with murder rates
@@orvinal2883 because having consequences for crime has no repercussions?
Look at the economy in Malaysia before and after the death penalty was reintroduced as well for example.
@@orvinal2883 Certainly does. Only those who support abolition of the death penalty make the claim you do. Some countries removed the death penalty and saw an increase in murder rates. Upon re-introducing the death penalty the murder rate dropped and yet the population increased over those periods. However, as the murder rates dropped assault rates rose to compensate I guess.
What happened in mid 1990 that caused the numbers to skyrocket overnight?
Proliferation of US supplied high-powered fire arms
Drugs
I doubt you even know what a high power fire arm is. No, a AR-15 is not.
In many countries dictatorships ended. When a fascist or a totalitarian regime with a strong police control comes to an end AND there's a huge social inequality, you'll see a great amount of crime and murders. This happened in Brazil, in this list it showed for the first time in 1982 when the military dictatorship ended and in South Africa as well. But this didn't happened when totalitarian regimes were replaced by democracy in Europe.
I wonder if the higher numbers in recent years can be partially attributed to better record keeping or forensic technology.
What is the source of this data?
How is it that USSR is mentioned on the same graft as other Soviet republics?
I noticed that too.
It's simply a lie
It's just a human error we cannot say it's totally fake because it is available in public domain
I too want to know otherwise the Soviet Union as a whole would be ranking much higher. Maybe the USSR was separating each murder rate by republic. Then the other question is, What is the rest of the USSR?
@@storyofmystery I'm not saying it's fake, I'm saying it's false information.
Mexico Government just passed a law that will finally cut the Murder and Forced Dissappearances rate to a 30% of its current value.
The law cynically changes the conditions for someone to be added to those statistics.
