The ACS Unit cannot recommend a particular individual or location and assumes no responsibility for the quality of service provided. THE U.S. DEPARTMENT OF STATE HAS ASSESSED VALLETTA AS BEING A MEDIUM- THREAT LOCATION FOR CRIME DIRECTED AT OR AFFECTING OFFICIAL U.S. GOVERNMENT INTERESTS. Please review OSAC’s Malta-specific webpage for proprietary analytic reports, Consular Messages, and contact information. Crime Threats Malta is a generally safe country that receives numerous foreign tourists on a yearly basis. However, crimes of opportunity and violent crime do occur. Most street crimes are non-violent and non-confrontational and range from scams to petty theft. Theft of cell phones, computers, money, jewelry, and iPods is common. Visitors should keep these items out of sight and only use them in safe locations. Most street criminals are unarmed and are not prone to gratuitous violence. Victims of street crime are often inattentive targets of opportunity. Women should keep purses zipped and in front of them. Wear the shoulder straps of bags across your chest. Keep your money, credit cards, wallet, and other valuables in your front pockets. In 2016, crime statistics revealed that theft was the predominate criminal offense, making up over half of the crimes committed in Malta. Assaults numbered under 1,000, with the peak being June, July, and August (height of tourism season). Nationwide crime rates are higher in areas frequented by tourists to include: St.

  • Migration, Surnames and Marriage in the Maltese Island of Gozo Around 1900
    Journal of Maltese History, 2011/2 Migration, surnames and marriage in the Maltese island of Gozo around 1900. H.V.Wyatt Visiting Lecturer in the School of Philosophy, University of Leeds. Abstract The marriage records in the Public Registry in Gozo have been used to count the. frequency of surnames. Children with poliomyelitis and their controls from the same villages have been traced to their great grand-parents. These records have been used to trace migration to and from the larger island of Malta and the extent of consanguinity in each village. ______________________________________________________ Dr. Wyatt has held research and teaching posts in England, the United States, and the West Bank. He has taught and researched for 2 years in India, Pakistan and Bangladesh and for 4 years in Malta. He was previously Honorary Research Fellow in Public Health Medicine at Leeds University. Acknowledgements: I am very grateful to the Peel Medical Research Trust and the Royal Society for travel grants, to all the doctors, parish priests and other clergy who helped me, but especially to Professors H.M.Gilles and A. Scicluna-Spiteri. 35 Journal of Maltese History, 2011/2 Introduction To the north-west of Malta is the smaller island of Gozo (Fig 1), with an area of 67 square kilometres and about one tenth the population of Malta. In November 1942 poliovirus was introduced to the islands from Egypt and more than 420 children were paralysed. There were later, but smaller epidemics, until mass immunisation with the Sabin vaccine ensured that there have been no cases since 1964.

The landscape around what are now the modern towns and villages of Żejtun, Marsaskala, Marsaxlokk, Birżebbuġa, Ħal Għaxaq, Gudja and Tarxien, has evolved over a number of millennia into its present configuration. In ancient times, this complex landscape was an agro-industrial setting of road networks, extensive agricultural terraces, burial grounds, prominent buildings and settlements, as well as sea ports. Valleys, hills, harbours and other land formations contributed to the use of large tracts of land to support the small communities that inhabited the area during antiquity. Boundaries, if these existed at the time, were different from our modern municipal jurisdictions, as defined by the 1993 Local Council legislation. These ancient boundaries – political, economic and social in dimension – were physical and social, both dimensions now difficult to establish with absolute certainty, though perhaps easier to understand in general terms with the help of specific types of monuments and land formations.

  • Crime Mapping: a Gozitan Scenario Using the RISC Methodology
    Crime Mapping: A Gozitan Scenario Using the RISC Methodology SAVIOUR FORMOSA Introduction of falling victim to such an offence. The methods used were based on the calculation of the national Gauging a risk of crime in a locality is a complex theft from residence rates per household and the process, complex enough to warrant an in-depth resultant SRR was calculated for each spatial scientific process to calculate the risk-of-crime aggregation entity, in this case NUTS 4 and NUTS status of each spatial area at the different NUTS 5. This methodology ensures that each area is level (NUTS 1_2 – Country, NUTS 3 – Island, investigated in the same manner as all other areas NUTS 4 – District, NUTS 5 – Local Councils). irrespective of population size, locality land area, Gozo has the unique status of occupying both and each is placed on the same comparative level NUTS 3 and NUTS 4 levels, however crime based on the spatial entity giving a rate rather than analysis is best carried out at NUTS 4 and NUTS absolute figures. This ensures that Għasri which 5 due to the availability of data at those detailed has the smallest population in Gozo, is placed on levels. In comparing the Gozo risk of crime to the same level as Birkirkara which has the highest the other areas the method calls for a comparative population: transforming the absolute figure to analysis across all the NUTS 4 and NUTS 5 areas rates such as population per square kilometer, in terms of the national (NUTS 1_2) rates of risk. place both on the same analytical base.
