Crime statistics
Statistics show Spain is one of the European countries with the lowest crime rate, according to a 2005 Gallop Europe research study. The rate of misdemeanours and crimes in Spain was 46 per 1,000 people in 2009. In 2013 Spain had one of the lowest crime rates in Europe.
Furthermore, why does Spain have a low crime rate?
The reason for the low crime rate is because of the horrible way the authorities treat criminals. If you go to the prison in one of those countries, there is a big chance you will get killed in there, or end up committing suicide. So we should not praise those countries for their low crime rate.
| Level of crime | 29.07 | Low |
|---|---|---|
| Problem people using or dealing drugs | 42.05 | Moderate |
| Problem property crimes such as vandalism and theft | 40.72 | Moderate |
| Problem violent crimes such as assault and armed robbery | 24.76 | Low |
| Problem corruption and bribery | 51.03 | Moderate |
