Croatia

According to Croatian police statistics, murder in that country has been in decline over the last nine years, starting from a very low base.

If the national police figures were comparable to the standardised figures, the murder rate in Croatia would be currently about one third of the European average, close to that of Japan.

In 2006, the police recorded just 68 murders, in a country of some 4.5 million people.
