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.
One country with a notably low crime rate is Iceland. It has a very low homicide rate and is considered one of the safest countries in the world. This is attributed to factors such as a strong social support system, high levels of trust in society, and effective policing.
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.
The leading cause of mortality of the Vatican City is maternal. The MMR or maternal mortality rate of 1 per 1,000 in the Vatican City is the number of female deaths caused by giving birth.
