What are the crime statistics for Malawi?
No recent national crime figures were found on the sites of the Malawi Police Service and the National Statistical Office, checked on 15 October 2026. The most recent intentional homicide rate in the World Bank database is 1.8 per 100,000 people, for 2012.
That figure comes from the UN Office on Drugs and Crime and counts homicides recorded by police, so it can understate killings that are not reported. The Malawi Police Service publishes press releases and security advisories on its site.
