Comparison limits

Each row is one period of one indicator; filter to a single indicator_key before charting, and read `unit` — indexes and percentages must not be summed.

Notices

These are structured expert assessments drawing on qualitative and quantitative evidence, not official crime counts or measured prevalence. Higher criminality and criminal-actor scores are worse, while higher resilience scores are better; directions must never be mixed. The 2021 edition lacks six indicators introduced later, so those gaps are methodological, not zeros. Small changes can reflect expert judgment and edition methodology; use the underlying country profile and scoring thresholds before making causal claims.
