Take this information with a pinch of salt. Some of it is out of date by around 10 years.
It may possible come as no surprise that the murder rate is much higher in the Philippines than it is in England. Partially due to war, but the criminal murder rate is still more than 5 times that in the UK.
And, again, the number of police is only two thirds of that in UK while the number of prisoners is on par with ours... Although, there isn't enough room to hold all of them in the Philippines with the share of prison capacity being around 156%.
One of the biggest crimes in the Philippines is software piracy, with an estimated 69% of purchased software being pirated, with more obviously being downloaded freely. The UK comes in at around 26%.
The total crimes recorded, though, is around eighty five thousand in the Philippines with the UK topping six and a half million. I assume this is due to many petty crimes not being so diligently prosecuted and recorded there as they would be in the UK.
I don't exactly understand these numbers, but it gives an idea of variance for me to work with.
The four pieces of crime information I want to illustrate are...
Criminal murders
Police
Jails - Prisoners
Software piracy
