Supplementary notes

The criminality index score takes two subcomponents into consideration:

Prevalence of criminal markets: value considerations, reach considerations (e.g. the non-monetary impact of each market)
Structure/influence of criminal actors: mafia-style groups, criminal networks, state-embedded actors, foreign actors

The index functions on a scale of 1 to 10, with a score of 1 signifying the best possible scenario of non-existent criminality, whereas a score of 10 indicates that criminality is part of every aspect of a society. The scoring thresholds are as follows:

1-3: non existent to little influence
4-5: moderate influence
6-7: significant influence
8-10: severe influence

On the data collection process, the source states the following:
A process of literature review, analysis and verification was undertaken to determine criminality and resilience scores for each country. Data collection encountered a number of challenges, including availability, reliability, uniformity and compatibility. The GI-TOC Index team endeavoured to overcome such challenges by cross-checking data sources where available and identifying proxy indicators, as needed.
