Do capitalist countries have more crime than socialist countries?

On average, yes, capitalist countries have more crime, but this is correlation not causation. The reasons that capitalist countries typically have more crime is that fewer of them are police states and more of them have less restrictive gun laws. The monetary policies of capitalism or socialism have no effect on crime.

There are no Socialist countries. Socialism means a classless stateless society based on production for use, and will have to exist at a global level, with no countries or borders.

Is crime higher in capitalist countries?
Of course it is. Do a simple statistical analysis of the instances of normative 'crimes', such as burglary, theft and assault in nations with strong centralized, regulated markets and nations with laissez-faire libertarianist market policies and the conclusion should be quickly apparentAnswerNot necessarily. Capitalist countries just have better systems for compiling and reporting statistics. The statistics reported by capitalist countries are more reliable because they're normally reported by both government and independent agencies. For example, totalitarian governments tend to report statistics based on politics rather than facts; countries with ongoing unrest or war may not report crime at all when murder, robbery, or rape are a way of life and may go unchecked or may be government sanctioned. Another element that can affect reporting crime from country to country, is what is considered a crime in one country, may not be in another. Capitalist countries tend to have much higher standards for passing laws and punishments for acts against citizens. Capitalist countries also use more resources and technologies for detecting crime, apprehending criminals, and prosecuting crime.Monaco and Dubai are examples of very capitalist countries (don't bother to come if you don't plan to spend a lot of money), yet have very low crime rates.

How might a socialist and a capitalist government differ in the treatment of the unemployment?
There are no purely socialist or capitalist countries. In a purely socialist one, there is no unemployment, the state will find something for you to do. In a purely capitalist one, there is always some unemployment, but small and transitory. Private charities would make up for what shortfalls took place. In mixed economies, there are a mixed bag of responses. Unemployment benefits help. As do various aid programs, such as food stamps and utility assistance plans. The more "socialist", the more such programs are likely to exist. The more capitalist, the more such problems as unemployment are unlikely to exist, with charities taking up the slack.

Does the direction of the Democratic Party for the USA eventually lead to a Socialist nation?
People who say that kind of thing wouldn't recognize socialism if they found it swimming in their soup. More to the point, there are degrees of various political stances. There are no pure (or even mostly) Socialist countries in the world, any more than there are no pure (or mostly) Capitalist countries. In addition, Socialism isn't the opposite of Capitalism. So a move towards Socialism doesn't necessarily mean less Capitalism. In other regards, Yes, the Democratic Party tends to espouse and push for more Socialist ideas than does the Republican Party. However, both parties support various programs that can easily be labeled as "Socialist". Labeling major political parties and even most people as "Socialist", "Capitalist", "Communist", etc. is simplistic, and generally indicates a lack of intellectual depth or a political motive separate from actual truth-seeking.
