Of course it is. Do a simple statistical analysis of the instances of normative 'crimes', such as burglary, theft and assault in nations with strong centralized, regulated markets and nations with laissez-faire libertarianist market policies and the conclusion should be quickly apparent

AnswerNot necessarily. Capitalist countries just have better systems for compiling and reporting statistics. The statistics reported by capitalist countries are more reliable because they're normally reported by both government and independent agencies. For example, totalitarian governments tend to report statistics based on politics rather than facts; countries with ongoing unrest or war may not report crime at all when murder, robbery, or rape are a way of life and may go unchecked or may be government sanctioned.

Another element that can affect reporting crime from country to country, is what is considered a crime in one country, may not be in another. Capitalist countries tend to have much higher standards for passing laws and punishments for acts against citizens. Capitalist countries also use more resources and technologies for detecting crime, apprehending criminals, and prosecuting crime.

Monaco and Dubai are examples of very capitalist countries (don't bother to come if you don't plan to spend a lot of money), yet have very low crime rates.
