The Index’s key findings show that the gap between criminality and resilience is growing.
Today, 83% of the world’s population lives in countries with high crime — a sobering increase from 79% in 2021.
By contrast, a comparison of resilience over the past two years reveals that the global average has remained largely stable, with a score of 4.81 out of 10.
In particular, the role of non-state actorsas resilience agentshas declined the most. These actors, including the media, are vital in holding state institutions to account and serve as integral components in communities affected by organized crime.

In an effort to enhance readability and optimize the overall user experience, the Global Initiative has chosen to deliver the 2023 Global Organized Crime Index in a digital format. Our shift to a dynamic, interactive, web-based format makes the wealth of data and insights found within the report more accessible and navigable. This evolution reflects GI-TOC’s commitment to leveraging technological advancements for effective and user-friendly communication of analytical information.
We believe this enhancement not only improves the individual reading experience but also empowers journalists, policymakers, scholars, and all our users to interact with, draw from, and share this information more effectively.
