Hi Aaron, the list is a compilation of available comparable data. Statistics are hard to come by, especially in developing countries where data management is poor. The specific problems with stats on crime and the policing of crime are discussed in a concise article at: http://www.iss.org.za/Pubs/CrimeIndex/01Vol5No3/Figure.html. You may like to read that. |

Whoops, India has the largest police force in the world AND the largest number of acquittals?! Shows how *urgently* we need police reforms in the country. |

Anik! Police and detectives held about 840,000 jobs in 2002. About 81 percent were employed by local governments. State police agencies employed about 11 percent and various Federal agencies employed about 6 percent. A small proportion worked for educational services, rail transportation, and contract investigation and security services. Source: U.S. Department of Labor |
