The Vatican has a population of about 800. With 1.5 crimes per citizen, Vatican City has the highest crime rate in the world. However, this is not a matter of priests of other residents of the Vatican running amok and robbing banks or mugging tourists. The vast majority of these crimes are caused by pickpockets who come from outside the Vatican to prey on the thousands of tourist and visitors who come to the Vatican on a daily basis. It is a virtual paradise for the pickpocket. Another crime is shoplifting in the duty-free stores of the Vatican. Only one drug arrest has ever been made in the Vatican. Since the Vatican has no penal system to prosecute these criminals, they are escorted outside the Vatican and turned over to Italian police.
There are no mountains in Vatican City.

Columbus, GA ----- It is hard to say definitively, because there is no solid definition of a "small town." However, the city with the highest crime rate per capita in the US in 2013 was Detroit, with a rate of 2,123 violent crimes per 100,000 residents.
The crime rate in the Vatican is one of the highest, if not the highest, in the world but the majority of the crimes are purse snatching and pickpockets perpetrated by criminals who come from Rome to prey on the tourists. <><><> The high crime rate is due to there being only about 455 RESIDENTS of Vatican City- but about 18 million VISITORS. While the number of crimes is relatively low, when compared to the number of RESIDENTS, it becomes a high rate. The 397 crimes (1992) resulted in a crime rate of 0.87 per each resident- as said- about the highest rate in the world.
