D - FACTS AND FIGURES
International comparisons of criminal justice statistics 1999
1. Prison Population in selected countries:
| Country |
Rates per 100'000 population in 1999 |
| Russia | 729 |
| USA | 682 |
| England & Wales | 125 |
| Canada | 123 |
| Spain | 111 |
| Australia | 108 |
| Germany | 97 |
| France | 91 |
| Italy | 89 |
| EU-15 average | 87 |
| Netherlands | 84 |
| Switzerland | 81 |
| Belgium | 80 |
| Greece | 72 |
| Denmark | 66 |
| Sweden | 59 |
| Finland | 46 |
| Japan | 43 |
Due to varying legislation in different countries absolute comparisons of prison population numbers may be missleading.
The prison population in a country reflects 1) The crime rate 2) The extent to which crimes were cleared 3) The extent to which the accused were remanded in custody 4) The length of pre-trial detention 5) The extent to which courts impose custodial sentences 6) The length of custodial sentences 7) The extent to which custodial sentences were suspended.
