Crime in Tuvalu is not a significant social problem due to small population, geographic isolation, and low development.
Tuvalu, like other island nations in the West Pacific, is utilised as a staging point in the illicit drug trade between South East Asia and Australasia.[1] There were 2 murders in 2012, resulting in a per capita average higher than most countries.[2]
Tuvalu has a police service and an island based Magistrates Court system. Serious offences, such as rape and murder, are dealt with in the High Court of Tuvalu.[3]
