There is a high crime rate in all regions of Kenya. Petty offences are the most common crime with stealing being the most reported crime. Robbery and theft are among the least cited criminal offences. Crime in Kenya is as low as in countries like Tunisia with a rating of 3.46 crimes per 100,000 people. However, it is important to note that crime in Kenya often goes unreported and police often lack the training or experience to effectively respond to crimes. Despite the reportedly somewhat low crime rate, Kenya has a big problem with organized crime and many gangs work with corrupt police officers and sometimes even the government. Kenya has a criminality score of 7.02 on the Organized Crime Index, the 16th most in the world, an improvement from 11th in 2021. [1][inappropriate external link?]

In general, crime rates in Kenya are much lower outside of Nairobi. Kenya is generally safe for tourists as long as they follow their country's travel advisory, but robbery of tourists does take place. There is a special police unit that deals with mitigating tourist target offences which lead to a decline in such offences.
