Tassi di omicidio in Europa nel 2023 per paese: Lettonia 1 °, Lituania 3 °, Estonia 5 °

Explanation for posting this: There’s a meme making rounds in social media comparing murder rates in the cities of US and Europe, where Tallinn has the highest murder rate in Europe (5.5 per 100 000 inhabitants), Vilnius is 3rd and Riga 5th. It has been posted in r/BalticStates, r/Eesti and many other places multiple times already. There’s no source for the data shown in the meme. Even if there is some reliable source used, it must be more than a decade old. This graph can’t be found anywhere but in the social media.

Here’s some real data of intentional homicides in Europe by country in 2023: Latvia 1st (4.2 per 100 000 inhabitants), Lithuania 3rd (2.41 per 100 000), Estonia 5th (1.32 per 100 000).
