Missed this yesterday, but was good to see the extra numbers.
Goes to show that the poorest countries do not always have to be the most crime-ridden - while the others have cash - what is the actual quality of life of it's citizens (fear of crime would feed into this).

Media also goes a long way in forming positive/negative perceptions.
I think that also another crucial factor is where the poorer countries are in their current economy growth rate.

Also wanted to add that in the starting thread, I HAD mentioned that Ja's murder statistics that is it's main undoing in the crime stats.
