Other sources of international comparisons of violent crime

The United Nations Office for Drug Control and Crime Prevention (UNODCCP) conducts an international survey on crime trends and the operations of criminal justice systems every three years. The survey asks each country to provide their recorded crime data according to UNODCCP standard definitions. The most recent survey was for the years 1998-2000. The results from this survey, however, are not yet available. 

While the survey can provide information regarding the volume of recorded crimes for many countries using the same definitions, it appears this information is not provided as rates of crime per capita.
