Global Initiative Against Transnational Organized Crime

Government

The Global Initiative Against Transnational Organized Crime is an independent research organization that measures the scale and impact of organized crime worldwide. Their flagship product is the Global Organized Crime Index, which assigns country-level scores (1-10) for criminality and resilience across multiple criminal markets including drug trade, human trafficking, arms smuggling, and financial crimes. The index covers 193 countries and has been published in three editions (2021, 2023, 2025), allowing tracking of trends over time. Data is presented through interactive maps and downloadable datasets that combine quantitative scoring with qualitative country profiles.

Global Organized Crime Index

Mexico scores high on drug trafficking criminality but moderate on resilience. Denmark scores low on criminality across most criminal markets and high on resilience. This dataset ranks every country on both: how much organized crime activity happens there and how well equipped the government is to fight it. You can see which countries are hubs for specific crimes like cocaine trafficking or human smuggling, which ones are dominated by particular types of criminal groups, and which ones have the strongest law enforcement and courts to combat it.
