What is the crime rate in Papua New Guinea?
No current official crime statistics for Papua New Guinea could be read on 15 October 2026. The most recent intentional homicide rate in the World Bank series, which publishes UNODC data, is 9.3 per 100,000 people for 2010.
That figure is too old to describe crime today, and it covers homicide only. No recorded-crime statistics were found on the National Statistical Office's social statistics page.
