Is it true that south Africa is the 5th dangerous crime country in the world?
Yes, no, maybe Seems everyone has their own list. South Africa is usually in the top 10. The reason for these varying statistics may be that everyone has a different definition of a serious crime. Homocide rates are certaintly in this group, as well as violent assaults. Also, crime statistics may not fairly reflect the danger to the traveler who stays in better sections of cities. I also believe that there is unreporting of statistics. I just have a hard time believing that Iceland is more dangerous than the Sudan based on crime statistics. From personal experience, the country of South Africa has many cities where you will feel safe during the day and night. Johannesburg downtown and Hillbrow at night should not be visited alone. I speak from personal experience, rather than statistics. Also, conditions do change and crime statistics will lag behind these changes. See related links.

Why is the USMC crime rate so high?
The crime rate in the Corps is not especially high. Given that the Corps is the smallest of the military branches, the statistics are skewed because of it's relative size.There will always be crime in each branch of the military, but the required aggressiveness that the Marine Corps requires of it's members makes the likelihood of violence more prevalent. Even so, when you look at the rates given the size of the Corps in relation to the same numbers from other branches it is not extreme.Statistics are strange. If three members of each service committed the same crime, the statistics would show different percentages for each service because of the relative size of each service. So, given this fact, perhaps the crime rate isn't as high as you thought. How many of the members did crime, not what percentage. It makes a very large difference in how the data is viewed.
