Imprisonment rates

Hong Kong has one of the highest rates of imprisonment in the region at around 163 per 100,000. Only Singapore at 290, Thailand at 270 and, Mongolia at 253 exceed this level. Japan [40], Australia [100] Canada [114] and New Zealand [143 per 100,000] and most other Asian countries had much lower rates [APCCA 1998]. Imprisonment rates have declined from levels above 200 per 100,000 during 1991-1996 due to fluctuations in the numbers of illegal immigrants.
