According to the 2021 Corruption Perception Index from Transparency International (released on January 2022), countries in the Americas scored on average 43 (on a scale of 0-100, with 0 being highly corrupted and 100 being 100 very clean), the top score being Canada, and the worst being Venezuela. Compare that to the Europe where countries scored 66 on average. Mexico scored 31, and ranks #124, out of 180 countries and jurisdictions around the world. The Rule of Law Index 2021 by the World Justice Project presents a portrait of the rule of law in 139 countries and jurisdictions by providing scores and rankings organized around eights factors: constraints on government powers, absence of corruption, open government, fundamental rights, order and security, regulatory enforcement, civil justice, and criminal justice. Denmark ranking at #1 (scoring 0.90) is where the Rule of Law is perceived to be stronger, while Venezuela ranking last at #139 (scoring 0.27), is where Rule of Law is perceived to be the weakest. In overall Rule of Law, Mexico scored 0.43, and ranks #113, out of 139 countries. In Civil Justice, Mexico scored 0.37 and ranks #131 out of 139 countries. (There is a Rule of Law Index for the Mexican States (2020-2021) that further provides information on rule of law specific to regions in Mexico, with evaluation on all factors, including civil justice.)
