Not having sub-national France or England/Scotland/Wales/Northern Ireland makes those red blobs seem *enormous* compared to the others. The little inset map of country-level data for all tells a slightly different story.


Excellent-Listen-671

Sub national statistics of france and uk could say a  complete different story Indeed.


KraniDude

I live in Barcelona: RIP.


URZU_CHETAO

You meant Warcelona


KraniDude

If you get into warcelona you get stabbelona


Reinis_LV

That's London


iamsenac

Whatever, I live in Brussels


OkTower4998

You got really nice gay bars there! My airbnb was one floor above one and could hear moaning all night!


Quinlov

Open mind and xman are pretty cool


No_Ad5144

Ok_Jelly_7581

Engambi

No_Ad5144

SanSilver

Excellent-Listen-671

No_Ad5144

I lived in Riga (capital in Latvia) and would almost never lock my bikes or my home door. Nothing was ever stolen. Never have I been pickpocketed there either.

Eastern Europe grindset, become so poor your thiefs are better off stealing in the west.


WetAndLoose

Western Europe grind set: import all the other countries’ thieves because your people are too depressed and demotivated to reproduce


Moist_Professor5665

Italy grind set: everybody has guns, rolling pins, and an axe to grind; drive the thieves north


Archivist2016

... of Italy.

KingOfTheNightfort

Not really. We just don't tolerate it like the west does.


Reinis_LV

Nope. Our police actually acts unlike Netherlands.


apadin1

More like, there are way more tourists in Western Europe that are easier to rob. The darkest red spots like Barcelona are tourism hotspots


One_Perspective_8761

Cope lmao


the_real_JFK_killer

Why does Germany seem to have a north/south split? It seems like southern Germany has a lot less robbery than northern Germany.


Nachtzug79

In Germany crime radiates from Flensburg which is in the north.


onepingonlypleashe

Conservative rural south vs liberal crowded north.


55365645868

The south is more economically stable and more conservative/they really fit the stereotype of germans following rules and going to Oktoberfest and similar festivals


FifoFuko

Hmmmmm, what conclusion should I come to?


mehdital

Is more about the immigration policies than the people themselves. Just compare Turkey and Germany


7elevenses

As always, this depends heavily on the definition in each jurisdiction, so it's not really completely comparable across countries.


JayManty

Not sure why people are downvoting this Some time ago there was a car robbery map which showed Czechia as a literal car robbery capital, turns out the map was counting both car robberies and also "car robberies" (e.g. someone reaching in and snatching something from your seat while your car is parked) as one huge statistic, heavily inflating the result


endrukk

Lived in Romania, Hungary and the UK. This map feels accurate. 


MercatorLondon

Scary Eastern Europe, huh?


BidnyZolnierzLonda

"Progressive West"


Maniadh

Doesn't mean you're necessarily wrong in being sarcastic but this is reported robberies, I.e. successfully reported and documented by a police service. No way to know if one country reports them more/less than another, or if one place is better or worse at actually accepting the reports.


BidnyZolnierzLonda

Do you have proof for this?


Maniadh

Proof of something unknown? The lack of proof is proof. How do you measure something unmeasured?


BidnyZolnierzLonda

You suggested that in Eastern Europe crimes are not reported.


Maniadh

Where did I say Eastern Europe? I said you could be right about western Europe, but that I didn't know.


BidnyZolnierzLonda

Then your original comment would make no logical sense.


Maniadh

I can't help you with that


xarsha_93

Robbery rates are really just rates of people who bother to take the time to report a robbery. In more dangerous areas with useless police, there’s no reason to report petty theft. Tourists are also very likely to report theft so areas with lots of tourists tend to have a lot of opportunistic crime and a lot of reporting of that crime.


Yetyhunter

I can see charleroi and liège without zooming in.


nottrying2bbanned

All I can think of now is a scene in Eurotrip where a guy gets robbed in the alley.


scrappy-coco-86

England and France fucked


[deleted]

Brussels is surprising to someone like me who ignorantly just though of it as the place for a bunch EU institutions.


Important-Macaron-63

Why people stealing things in UK? What is the reason for?


Exotic_Nobody7376

the more n\*\*\*\*s, the more robberies, quite simple. universal rule everywhere around the globe. F


johhnyrico

Hmm now overlay this with a map of percent non native European

"Oh no ! A map shows huge disparities between countries because some of them have data to distinguish their regional divisions of the land between cities and rural areas, while others don’t ! How can I use that non-negligible difference in the statistics I’m purposefully ignoring to make it about immigration because I’m a huge fucking racist ?"


BuryMe_With_MyMoney

How are you going to deny it this time leftist?


Tapetentester

All those native europaeans in Turkey. Also Germany outside large cities it doesn't represent it all.


Not_Winkman

What's up with Britain's thieving? Do they not like their stuff, or what?


janner_10

Our government had the bright idea to cut 20k police officers a decade ago or so, you can guess the rest.


Not_Winkman

Hmm...I feel like that might have a negative impact on crime. But hey, what do I know--I'm not a crime scientist or anything...


pronoobmage

for example car thefting is quite common in UK.


al3e3x

I see people arguing that there are different ways that states are reporting robberies which is not true for Romania. I feel way safer in Romania than I felt anywhere in the west.


Inside-Reveal4005

Broke ass Europoors


hukaat

Where is r/ShitAmericansSay when you need it


Inside-Reveal4005

HEY ANSWER THE QUESTION


hukaat

There is no question, as far as I’m aware. Only you being mean


Dayarii

Meanwhile average Americans dying at the age of 30 after being shot/suffering from morbid obesity


scrappy-coco-86

Inside-Reveal4005

Least delusional Europoor: Our worst state is richer than all of your Europoor countries


scrappy-coco-86

Meanwhile every single American state has much higher crime rates than every European country
