Recorded crime depends on what people report and on police activity, and every country counts it its own way, so compare cities within one country, not across countries. Rates are per 1,000 residents (Sweden: per 100,000; France: home burglaries per 1,000 homes). Prices are the official figures from each city's page; a typical city is the middle one by price.
