According to a study conducted by the
University of Haifa’s Center for the Study of Crime, Law & Society, Israel’s
murder rate is one of the world’s lowest, which shows the murder rate in
Israel is
declining. The murder rate per 100,000 residents has remained virtually
unchanged over the past 28 years, and has declined during the past few years.
The study says that the crime rates have to be examined in relation to the
population size. From this perspective, the research shows that the number of
murders per 100,000 people was 2.35 in 1980 and 2.29 in 2006. This data is low
compared to other countries. For instance, in Russia, the
number of murders per 100,000 people was 18 in 2004, and in the United States,
the number of murders per 100,000 people was 7.5 during the same year.
