Abstract

This paper examines aggregate crime trends and variation around them from 1988 to 2004 for 26 countries and five volume crime types using data from the International Crime Victims Survey. Multilevel statistical analysis is used to identify the main trends. Major drops in crime were experienced in many countries from the early to mid-1990s onwards. Between 1995 and 2004, the estimated mean international crime incidence reductions were: 77.1 percent in theft from cars, 60.3 percent in theft from person, 26 percent in burglary, 20.6 percent in assault, and 16.8 percent in car theft. Repeat thefts from car and thefts from person fell by 28.1 and 13.2 percent, respectively, over the same period.
