Crime may be in different type either in shape of civil crime or social crime etc. But both have bad results at last and the conclusion is the punishment. it may be stopped by the law so that it may not harm people and its rate can be decreased. There are several reasons for increased crimes in all over the world. from the large notable countries USA has the highest rate as compared to all other developed nations.
the records of offenders & victims are as elderly as the origin of the mankind. Crimes can simply be defined as illegal activities, behaviors, intentions or actions. In the theocratic or divine sins i.e. wrong-doings, evil, shameful, immoral, unethical (though not illegal necessarily) may considered as crimes or offenses made against the deities & Lords.
Anyway, the more accepted or generalized definition of crime is any intent or act by an offender made against an individual, particular group, community, organization or State which trespasses or violates the boundaries made under the certain Judicial outlines of the particular Jurisdiction (typically court of law or Judicial systems).
The crimes can be classified into big lists, but majorly can be the following:
On the basis of offense (Seriousness)
  • Felony
  • Misdemeanor
  • Offense against an individual
  • Assault
  • Murder (Homicide)
  • Kidnapping
  • Sexual Assault
  • Battery
  • Criminal negligence
  • Robbery
  • False imprisonment
  • Mayhem
There is a time-consuming stretch of crimes for instance one can simply find crimes against properties/ assets, and Justice. Crimes can also be categorized by the types of offenses such as offense against an individual, property, violent offense, or sexual offense and they all have been classified in more detailed versions or sub-categories which are even more lengthened and make long lists.
Similarly the subject (crime) is also categorized by penalty, common law, mode of trial or origin.
The matter also includes the crimes defined as per international law, commonly listing slavery, war crimes, genocide, forced disappearances, crimes against global peace, piracy etc.
The history of Prosecution, Criminal Justice, liabilities, policies, for bearers & sufferers i.e. offenders & victims is also as aged as the crime itself; one who commits it has to face the prosecution & punishment, regardless of strong or weak, efficient or inefficient; and the one who suffered form it is free & upright to seek the justice.
Enough discussion of the topic – a reasonable wandering of some crimes; let’s now talk and rate the countries with highest crime rates in the World. Crimes are highly or mainly feature the typical homicide rate of the regions, sub-regions, countries & country sub-divisions conventionally per 100,000 inhabitants. We aren’t to follow the same. Nothing is more serious than homicide but it isn’t the only among the criminal pursuits. Conclusively, here is a list of top ten countries with highest crime rates in the world, configured on the basis of data sources such as First Investigation reports (FIR’s), Insurance statistics, hospital records & other surveying agencies featuring overall crime rate not merely Homicide (Murder).
America & Europe are far more a big ask to be followed or reached by any of the other regions of the world; the economically rich, stable & secure are as rich & productive in the crimes being reported to the authorities i.e. police & criminal justice.
