Crime in Spain
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Overall, rates of crime in Spain are relatively low in comparison to other European countries, with the notable exception of robberies.[1] In 2022 it was listed as number two out of 35 states in Europe with regard to the number of police-recorded robberies relative to population size,[1] although in 2020 it had a lower homicide rate than the European Union average.[2]
