How to read it
Readings above the normal line are worse than normal, so they plot downward here; readings below it are better.

About this indicator
It belongs to Safety, Crime, and Personal Security, the part of the welfare catalog concerned with exposure to violence, conflict, displacement, and perceived or observed personal security. The exact stored unit is PERCENT, the geographic presentation is global, the data publisher is United Nations Statistics Division, and the immutable numerical identity is UN-SDG-16.1.3#VCVOVROBB#Reporting Type=G|Sex=BOTHSEX identity. Candidate 66 is broader or differently denominated than “Proportion of population subjected to robbery in the previous 12 months, by sex (%)” in PERCENT. Factrail stores this narrower source-defined measure, preserves the input wording in reconciliation, and makes no claim that the values measure the broader phrase. For catalog item 66, the provider definition is: Proportion of population subjected to robbery in the previous 12 months, by sex (%). The stored rows are an explicitly disclosed unweighted mean of reporting country or city observations for SDG indicator 16.1.3, series VCVOVROBB, constrained to Reporting Type=G|Sex=BOTHSEX. That definition controls the denominator, population, reporting instrument, and statistical meaning. This Indicator records an observed outcome; it does not assert why that outcome changed. Welfare assessment for item 66 uses lowerisbetter. Lower observations are treated as better welfare relative to the dated comparative reference. The direction applies to the stored official measure after the disclosed transformation, if any, rather than being inferred from an emotionally positive or negative title. No mathematical transformation is applied before persistence. Keeping title, series identity, unit, scope, transformation, and interpretation together prevents the record from mixing incompatible measurement concepts. The numerical observations for catalog item 66 were retrieved from United Nations Global SDG Indicators Database through https://unstats.un.org/SDGAPI/v1/sdg/Indicator/Data?indicator=16.1.3&pageSize=10000 (opens in a new tab). The provider landing page is https://unstats.un.org/sdgs/dataportal/database?indicator=16.1.3 (opens in a new tab). The research package records the access date, exact dataset and series identifiers, dimension key Reporting Type=G|Sex=BOTHSEX, unit, provider metadata, transformation, and yearly aggregation label. The bounded Source and Evidence records can therefore reproduce which numbers were used without treating a generic homepage as row-level proof. Measurement provenance for item 66 follows this provider method: The United Nations database supplies country or city observations for the exact series and dimensions. Factrail stores a disclosed unweighted annual mean and never labels it as a UN-published World total. 2018 combines 21 reporting economies; 2019 combines 24 reporting economies; 2020 combines 18 reporting economies; 2021 combines 17 reporting economies; 2022 combines 16 reporting economies; 2023 combines 19 reporting economies; 2024 combines 9 reporting economies. The output keeps full numerical precision through NormalLine, deviation, and interpretation calculations. Display clients may round for readability, but the persisted value is not squeezed into a zero-to-one score and is not rounded before calculation. The item 66 NormalLine starts on 2018-01-01 at 0.2 PERCENT. 25th percentile of retained official World observations across the disclosed publication window. The calculation keeps the source unit, dimensions, and transformation fixed and is a comparative reference rather than an invented statutory target. For zeroisnorm, the value is exactly zero and is never relaxed because non-zero observations are common. For every item 66 point, normallinevalue copies that dated line and deviationfromnormal is stored in raw-unit terms as observation minus NormalLine. Arithmetic sign and welfare sign are separate. A positive raw deviation is adverse for lowerisbetter, favourable for higherisbetter, and adverse above zero for zeroisnorm. The custom governance score retains its provider scale and uses the public methodology explanation rather than title sentiment. The complete retained sequence is 2018: 2.9238095238 PERCENT; 2019: 2.6154166667 PERCENT; 2020: 2.4216666667 PERCENT; 2021: 1.7352941176 PERCENT; 2022: 2.47375 PERCENT; 2023: 2.3857894737 PERCENT; 2024: 1.3666666667 PERCENT. The first observation is 2.9238095238 PERCENT in 2018 and the latest is 1.3666666667 PERCENT in 2024. The absolute change is -1.5571428571 PERCENT, equivalent to -53.2573289889% of the absolute starting level. The minimum observed value is 1.3666666667 PERCENT, and the maximum is 2.9238095238 PERCENT. For catalog item 66, the latest observation differs from the NormalLine by 1.1666666667 PERCENT and is classified as negative under lowerisbetter. That classification is a deterministic comparison, not a causal explanation or editorial verdict. A movement may reflect real change, altered reporting coverage, revised estimates, a changed survey frame, or several of those at once. There are 7 retained item 66 observations in the selected 2018-2025 research window. The retained observations satisfy the minimum temporal rule without interpolation, extrapolation, or forward filling. Missing years are absent observations, not zeroes. The sequence is intentionally irregular when the official source is irregular, because a smooth-looking line created by invented values would be methodologically false. The displayed global item 66 sequence has one consistent numerical identity: UN-SDG-16.1.3#VCVOVROBB#Reporting Type=G|Sex=BOTHSEX identity. No second source series is spliced into a gap, no latest value is copied into a missing year, and no country-only observation is relabelled as a World value. If the source later adds or revises an observation, the update must arrive as a new reviewed research package with its own checksum and audit record. A defensible graph edge requires an existing Driver, direction, strength, lag, confidence, and Source/Evidence that supports the mechanism. The outcome series alone cannot establish that causal chain. For item 66, importance weight 0.8500000000000001 is generated by indicator-importance-rubric-v1. Its five committed components are directness 0.85, population reach 0.8, persistence 0.8, effect on human capabilities 0.9, and overlap control 0.85. The formula weights them 0.35, 0.25, 0.20, 0.15, and 0.05, then rounds to the nearest 0.05. The value is deterministic and reproducible; it is not an intuitive score assigned while drafting prose. Candidate 66 is broader or differently denominated than “Proportion of population subjected to robbery in the previous 12 months, by sex (%)” in PERCENT. Factrail stores this narrower source-defined measure, preserves the input wording in reconciliation, and makes no claim that the values measure the broader phrase. The correction preserves all 120 catalog candidates as auditable inputs while refusing to fabricate a literal series that the selected official systems do not publish coherently. The resulting canonical Indicator may be narrower, differently denominated, or differently scoped than the preliminary phrase, and that difference is part of the record rather than hidden in a footnote. The 2018-2024 sequence for item 66 is too short for strong causal or structural claims. Cross-economy comparability can be affected by institutional definitions, survey coverage, modelled estimates, missing observations, classification practices, revisions, and unequal statistical capacity. A global aggregate or unweighted reporting-economy mean can also conceal distributional extremes and should not be used as an individual-level estimate. The item 66 NormalLine is a transparent comparative reference, not a claim that every jurisdiction has the same legal target or feasible frontier. The source may revise both historical points and metadata. Any later refresh must preserve the earlier Source, Evidence, checksum, and audit trail; it must not mutate the meaning of an already reviewed series identity.
