Safety - Regions

This dataset provides statistics on safety in subnational regions. It covers homicide rates, motor vehicle thefts and mortality rates due to transport in regions.

Data definition and source

Homicide rates total and women) refers to the number intentional homicides per 100,000 inhabitants in a given year. Intentional homicides are defined as unlawful killings deliberately inflicted on one person by another.
****Motor vehicle theft rate ****refers to the number of motor vehicles reported stolen (theft or attempted theft) per 100,000 inhabitants in a given year. A motor vehicle is a self-propelled vehicle that runs on land surfaces and not on rails.

Definition of regions

Regions are subnational units below national boundaries. OECD countries have two regional levels: large regions (territorial level 2 or TL2) and small regions (territorial level 3 or TL3). The OECD regions are presented in the OECD Territorial grid (pdf) and in the OECD Territorial correspondence table (xlsx).
