I have Global poverty trend data, who has crime trend data?

[roid]

I'm looking for graphable data on global crime trends over at least the past few decades, preferably split into different categories eg: violent crime, theft, fraud, etc.
Also if it's split into geographic/geopolitical or geoeconomic regions that would be nice too.

Does anyone here study this? Or already have this data?
(maybe there's something in your gun debate folder)


Anyway, here's some nice graphs showing the world's poor disappearing as the planet gets gradually richer.
A lot you may be familiar with the \"these poor ppl make under $1 a day\" metric. Good news!

Although world population has increased by about 80% over this time (World Bank 2009), the number of people below the $1 a day poverty line has shrunk by nearly 64%, from 967 million in 1970 to 350 million in 2006.

Maybe because $1.00 today isn't worth what $1.00 was in 1970?

Hey look my BS graph looks a lot like your BS graph:


Your graph:

Basically the rest of the world isn't getting more wealthy, the US is simply getting more poor.

Krom i was talking about these graphs, they are a little further down:

Maybe because $1.00 today isn't worth what $1.00 was in 1970?

in PPP-adjusted 2000 dollars

incase you don't know what that means: it means they corrected for that, and more.

I don't have what you are looking for, but I have a site that's helpful for this type of thing. Maybe you know of it already. I find it to be a very useful supplement for research.
