The Crime Epicenter

vatican city, vatican, smallest, country, tourism, crime rate, visitors

Despite having fewer than 1,000 recognized citizens, the Vatican has the highest crime rate of any country in the world. However, this is not because it has a higher crime rate than other countries, but because it has a higher crime rate per population. These crimes are typically committed by the millions of visitors that pass through the region. Shoplifting, purse snatching, and pickpocketing are the most prevalent crimes, and the official Vatican tourism website advises guests to remain vigilant at all times.
