The number was higher than the perpetrators deliberately, totaling 60, because one person may have caused more than one victim, as was the case with the Selenica massacre that killed 8 relatives in the summer of last year.
In a report a year ago, the number of victims who lost their lives in the killings has remained unchanged in 68, but in 2017 there were fewer women killed (12) and more men (56).
INSTAT reports detailed data on the number of those injured according to criminal and gender since 2015.
The record shows that the highest death toll was in 2016, with 99 of whom 82 were males. This period coincides with the massiveisation of cannabis culting in the country, where, as is officially accepted, there were about 2,000 plantations planted. INSTAT's data shows that there is a fair link between murders and criminal acts recorded for drugs. Another INSTAT sign points out that in 2016 we have the highest number of crimes in the drug field, with about 3,200 of those, out of about 2,000 that was average in other years.
And 2019 didn't start well, where only last week four murders were recorded in the country.
By the end of 2017, there were 992 prisoners of murder, 18 of whom were female. According to 2015, when there were 1470 people in stock for murder, their numbers have dropped by 32%, mainly because of amnestys committed.
While the number of drug crimes prisoners, in 2017, was about 1600, <x0 wanted” Albanian prisons, while representing nearly 30% of the total of prisoners in the country.
In proportion to the population, in 2018, Albania results in about 2.5 murders per 100,000 people. According to data from the United Nations Anti-drug and Crime Office (UNODC), referring to 2016 in the region, Albania is second in the highest population murder rate. The first is Montenegro (4.34), then Albania, then Kosovo (1.6) Macedonia (1.59), Serbia (1.39), Bosnia (1.28).
In Europe the largest killings are marked in former Soviet Union countries, Russia (10.8 kills per 100 thousand), Ukraine (6.3), Turkey (4.3). In Western European countries, this indicator fluctuates to about 1 per 100,000 people. The countries where fewer murders occur are Slovenia, Iceland, Norway, and so on.
In the world, the world's record of deliberate murders holds states such as Venezuela (56.5), Brazil (29.5), Colombia, with 25.5 murders per 100,000 residents, Mexico (19.3), and the last two known for their powerful drug cartels. /montor
