When I think of all the terrible things that people do to each other two crimes stand out from all the others as being the worst.
The worst is when a parent murders their own helpless defenseless child that trusts in them and needs them and has nobody to intervene on their behalf at that moment.
The other worst is when a married person murders their own spouse, especially a spouse that loves them and trusts them and has shared their bed and their love, and doesn't see this coming, and especially when it's done for the insurance money or for a lover.
They are, of course, terrible crimes: in Australia so far this year 63 women have been murdered by partners or ex-partners. I don't think too many of them were about insurance or lovers, most seem to be about exercising power and control.
However, these crimes seem worst because they're on a small scale we can identify with: on a more detached level (which I admit is difficult) surely the Nazi Holocaust or the Khmer Rouge mass murders in Cambodia are worse? There are lots more examples: the muslim fanatics killing their own people for slightly differing religious beliefs; the christian crusades against islam ....... far more examples than I want to think about or I'll totally lose faith in the human race
What is worst in the world?

You said 2 crimes, but they're both murder; under slightly different circumstances, but not much. Do you think being bad at math could make the list?
