Fig. 5From: More crime in cities? On the scaling laws of crime and the inadequacy of per capita rankings—a cross-country studyThe inadequacy of per capita rankings. Per capita ranking can differ substantially from rankings adjusted for population size, depending on the scaling exponent. In Italy and Denmark, for example, A theft ranks (top) diverge considerably more than the ranks for burglary (bottom). Data points represent cities’ positions in the rankings. B In nonlinear cases, these rankings diverge, as measured via rank correlationBack to article page
