Global Organized Crime Index
Country scores for criminal markets, criminal actors, and resilience: an expert-assessment heatmap of organized crime.
Global Initiative against Transnational Organized Crime (GI-TOC). Index 2025 (covers 2024).
What
The Global Initiative against Transnational Organized Crime (GI-TOC) rates 193 UN member states on criminality, criminal markets and criminal actors, and on resilience. The public tool is ocindex.net. The 2025 edition is the third; its assessment year is 2024. This card is a doorway to that expert composite, not a police-recorded crime rate and not a second UNODC homicide map.
Why on this shelf
Organized-crime criminality and resilience are a different object from intentional homicide rates. Do not fold this Index into the homicide card, and do not treat a dark country as a high homicide rate.
How to read it
A country score is an expert composite, not a police-recorded rate and not a UNODC homicide figure. Criminal markets, criminal actors, and resilience are separate pillars. Open the official heatmap on ocindex.net for the current layer.
Caveats
Coverage is expert assessment, not a census of offences. Definitions and evidence density differ by country. A high market score is not a high homicide rate.
