About this ranking

Robbery offences recorded by the police during the year per 100,000 inhabitants: taking property from a person by force or threat of force (ICCS 0401). Eurostat crime statistics.

Not comparable across countries: criminal law, police recording rules and how often victims report differ between countries. Use it to follow one country over time.

Every value in the ranking comes from the same publisher and the same period, so the EU countries are compared on one definition. Equal values share a rank.
