8. Italy
Score: 29
Next up on our list is Italy, home to some 60 million people, and a name that’s often associated with another – “mafia.” Many movies have been made and books are written to portray this type of criminal activity. Those times are, however, gone to some extent and petty theft is in. In fact, Italy ranks 11th on the global list, with 1,876 cases for every 100,000 people. There were also 98 cases of robbery per 100,000 people, too. It’s hard to tell how fresher data would look like, but 2014 seems like it was a really active year in Italy on all sides.
