Police Effectiveness

Nomadino police-effectiveness index on a 0-100 scale. Higher is better. The raw value combines practical law-enforcement capacity, WGI rule-of-law and government-effectiveness anchors, crime and victimisation-output proxies, organized-crime resilience, integrity/accountability safeguards, and crisis-context caps. Score equals raw value.

How the Raw Value Is Calculated

The raw value is a Nomadino police-effectiveness index from 0 to 100 points. 100 means very capable, integral and rule-of-law-constrained policing; low values indicate weak enforcement, impunity, corruption, state collapse or abusive security institutions.

The calculation combines six components: 30% lawful enforcement and justice capacity, 20% state enforcement capacity from WGI signals, 15% crime and victimisation output, 15% resilience against organized crime, 10% integrity and accountability, and 10% crisis and conflict context.

The public source families are the World Justice Project Rule of Law Index, World Bank Worldwide Governance Indicators, UNODC data, UN SDG 16.1 safety indicators, the Global Organized Crime Index, Global Peace Index and Gallup Law and Order. Nomadino harmonises these signals with maintained indicators for rule of law, government efficiency, corruption, petty crime, homicide, organized crime, political stability, political violence, terrorism and active conflicts.

The indicator does not reward mere harshness, militarisation or visible presence. High values require police and security bodies to prevent or investigate crime in practice without normalising systemic corruption, arbitrariness, torture, political repression or impunity.

Police-recorded data are never used on their own, because reporting rates, offence definitions and recording practice vary widely across countries. Homicide, perceived safety, independent governance data, rule of law and organized-crime signals are therefore used as more robust plausibility checks.

Active war, state collapse, extreme organized crime, very weak rule of law, severe corruption or systematic impunity can trigger ceilings. Territories without full source coverage use harmonised fallbacks based on administering state, local autonomy, WGI coverage, regional comparators and maintained Nomadino proxies.

The score equals the raw value. A higher raw value therefore improves the ranking.
