Crime dynamics[edit]
In 2008, Norway recorded 34 murders for the year.[1] The 2008 murder rate was 0.69 people per 100,000 head of population.[2]
Crime by location[edit]
Oslo[edit]
Statistics from the late 2000s indicate that crime in the city is rising.[3][4] Some media have reported that there are four times as many thefts and robberies in Oslo than in New York City.[5][6] In 2012, the German travel guide Dumont now describes the city as being unsafe for female tourists. The guide also named Oslo "The Crime capital of Scandinavia".[7]
According to the Oslo Police, they receive more than 15,000 reports of petty thefts annually. The rate is more than seven times the number per-capita of Berlin. Approx 0.8% of those cases get solved.[8]
Oslo has witnessed annual spikes in sexual assault cases in recent years.[9]
