Can you tell when these stats are from? I'm curious, why the high number of drug offenses ? I would expect drug offenses to be higher in the U.S. (to match the violent crime rates):

Netherlands: 12,683 per 100,000 people
U.S. 560.1 per 100,000 people

This was really surprising to me:

And why bribery?

And what's up with the property crime in New Zealand?

And why so many rapes and burglaries in Australia?
