Murders are not the only crime committed in the world though it is one of the most gruesome of crimes. You cannot call a country or a city the crime capital just because one of the many crimes are the highest in the world. And I agree with the other readers that absolute numbers do not protray the true picture and percentages have to be used to correctly understand the situation. In that case Russia wins hands down. This is just sensationalism by the National Crimes Bureau who persuaded rediff to carry this story.
