Surely not, it's just a lot less per capita in most countries that have a working police.

Russia has some particularly bad areas though. One of my friends told me about his uncle who lived his whole life trying to stay out of trouble and doing honest work in the town he grew up in. Most people don't even bother, but he did. After many years of hard work and saving for retirement he was just shot without warning by some random guy.
