Top 5 Safest Countries in the World
Top 5 Countries Where Safety is First
5. Japan. Though some may argue against this saying that Japan does not report all of its crime to officials, it is safe to say (no pun intended) that it is a peaceful nation. Major crimes occur at very low rates and it has a robbery ratio of 1.1 to every 100,000 people. The US has a ratio of 233 to every 100,000 people. One reason that may be attributed to the safety of the country is its culture. The Japanese are taught to never bring shame to their families, therefore abstain from disorderly conduct. The prosperous Japanese economy and tight gun control also can be factored in.
4. Ireland. Threats of terrorism and public riots are very slim in this Gaelic land. People are virtually free and the government functions with very, very little corruption. How often do we hear of Ireland on the news? Almost never. There is freedom of religion and press in Ireland and the likelihood of public political demonstrations is: 0. Reasons why? Irish police are strict.
3. Denmark. Country most likely to be what Karl Marx imagined: socialism working. The Danes believe crime stems from poverty; therefore they have created a welfare state. People live comfortably and the most they have to worry about is pick pocketing. Police response is immediate.
2. New Zealand. Bottom line, you can walk almost anywhere at night. Zero litter, graffiti, and vandalism are some of the first things tourists see when they come to New Zealand and the government does a good job of monitoring crime. Violence is seldom heard of, but as in all big cities around the world, something is bound to happen sooner or later.
1. Norway. According to the Global Peace Index, Norway is the most peaceful country in the world. This nation has an immeasurable illiteracy rate as everyone of or above school age can read and unemployment rate of 3.5%; both factors contribute to the country's high level of safety. Another indicator of safety? The increase of cruise ships with ports of call in Norway and increased general tourism to the nation. Everything functions like clockwork.

Post a Comment"the intentional homicide rate may not necessarily indicate the overall level of societal violence."
But you can get some idea about the safety of country. (per capita 100,000)
Norway 0.60 NZ 2.2 Denmark 1.01 Ireland 1.35 Japan 0.46
Singapore 0.51, Iceland 1.35, Switzerland 0.71, Australia 1.2, Sweden 1.0 US 4.8.
BULL. NZ and JAPAN aint as safe as it used to be. Im from NZ and live in Japan. Its definitely a different world. Natural disasters and terrorism out of the equation.
Terrorism and natural disasters are random and cannot be accounted for. You could live in easter island and have terrorism there for instance.
NZ is dangerous in many places,
Japan is getting worse.
Where the hell is Switzerland and Singapore on the lsit]?!
Another country that is very safe and that has a very low crime rate and which should be on the list is Luxembourg and the capital of Luxembourg Luxembourg city has been ranked the safest city in the world.
Why is Singapore not in the list, Singapore is the safest country and city in the world with a very low crime rate and a very low murder rate thanks mostly to it's tough law and order with cannings hangings very expensive fines and very long prison sentences being dished out to criminals who break the laws, in Singapore it is also so safe that a person can go anywhere anytime of day and nothing bad will happen to them, other countries that should have been in the list are Hong Kong Iceland Liechtenstein Switzerland United Arab Emirates and Qatar, those countries are very safe.
I like Japan the most!
So much for Norway being the #1 safest place to live.
people here ony diasagree with ireland being dangerous as they live here and don't know how to comare it to say Iran or iraq
compared to australia (sorry lachs) with all its spiders and snakes
ireland is pretty darn safe
now tell me is japan and new zealand still the safest place to live??
to the person who said that you thought nz is safe from world disasters..sounds like you're living in a wee bubble, New Zealand lies on The Ring of fire, over 80% of all earthquakes and volanic activity occurs on the Ring of Fire
Nz is actually a safe place to live, its true, you can walk around at midnight and feel safe :)
