Method & notes
Large states can rank highly partly because of population and urban scale, so the count should be read together with population before making risk comparisons.
METHOD & LIMITATIONSHow the numbers were calculated
PulseKita excludes national aggregate rows, then sums the official PDRM/DOSM police-district crime-type records within each state and year.
- These are absolute counts, not crime rates adjusted for population.
- The source defines the measure as actual crimes where a conviction was secured.
- W.P. Putrajaya is included under W.P. Kuala Lumpur and W.P. Labuan under Sabah in the source.
- Unreported crime is not included.
