What the map shows

The map simulates statistical times from annual data. It does not report individual events actually happening now. Point counters show currently visible simulated points; the timeline records only regular points observed during the session.

Random points within a country are a display model, not actual event locations or regional consumption hotspots. Earthquakes retain their historical USGS epicentres. Start examples are labelled and excluded from counts. Background gaps are not replayed.

Original years, national definitions and recording boundaries differ. Tables are alphabetical and do not provide a reliable country ranking. With mixed source years, the breakdown of death points is a display model, not an exact balance of causes. Point quantities and fade durations do not change annual values.

  Original source · Definitions and metadata

  Our selection of four UNODC offence groups: serious assault (ICCS 020111), robbery (0401), kidnapping (020221) and sexual violence (0301). Not an official total of violent crime or all crime. Registered offences from police and law-enforcement records, not victims or convictions. Subtypes of sexual violence are not added to their parent group. Each country's latest complete original year, 2023–2024; all four groups always from the same year. Mixed country years remain stated. Missing groups make the country value unknown; no partial sums, extrapolation or invented zeros. Recorded crime: reporting behaviour, national law, counting rules and recording stages differ. These data do not measure actual violence prevalence or support a reliable country ranking. The sum over known map areas controls only the simulation for these covered countries. It is not a worldwide violence count; unknown countries receive no substitute points. An incident may involve several registered offences; an offence point is neither a unique violent act nor a victim. Intentional homicide is excluded from this selection; incidents may overlap with other categories. Officially reported zeros are retained as source values. They establish neither absence of violence nor complete recording. UK subnational areas are not extrapolated to the whole United Kingdom. Random polygon points are statistical display locations, not crime scenes or live reports.
