Which countries on the planet should not be visited in order to avoid becoming a victim of murderers, and how things are in Russia, read in the RIA Novosti article.
Below we will discuss specifically intentional murders, which do not include victims of military clashes, as well as the legal use of weapons by law enforcement and other state bodies. This category also does not include murders as a result of self-defense, as well as by negligence.
Statistics on intentional homicides worldwide are maintained by the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC), whose website publishes relevant statistics provided by national governments.

Interestingly , the leader in the number of intentional murders in relation to the population is not Africa, but America – of course, at the expense of Latin America. However, this is most likely due to the fact that many African countries do not provide the relevant statistics to the UN. The same problem exists in Asia, although on a smaller scale.
Some statistical problems probably also explain why Asia has fewer murders relative to its population than Europe.
Asian countries have another peculiarity – murderers do not spare women very much: the gap between the genders of victims here is smaller than in other parts of the planet.
