Overall, murder rate is not a good indicator of the extent of crime in a society, because murders account for only a tiny percentage of all crimes committed. Most of the crimes perpetrated in any given society are property crimes such as theft. This being the case, a better indicator of the crime level in a society would be a per capita rate of total theft.
