A high crime rate is a scourge of the modern world. Traveling to some countries, such as Venezuela and Honduras, can be extremely dangerous due to the large number of organized criminal groups and frequent kidnappings (including in tourist areas).

So that you do not have to worry about the safety of your wallet and life, we have prepared ranking of countries with the lowest crime rate in 2019. It is based on Numbeo database data. The Crime Index for Country is measured in accordance with the laws of the country in which the incident occurred. Indeed, in another country, this crime may not be considered as such.

10 countries with the lowest crime rate

10. Switzerland

William Tell's homeland, one of the top 10 most innovative countries, is famous for its excellent education, high level of medical services and high salaries. But crime is not honored there, and more than 45% of crimes in the country are committed by foreigners.

The Swiss have a very developed sense of public duty. They actively help the police by reporting offenses such as tax evasion or drunken driving.

9. Singapore

The megalopolis state is so safe that the government has to remind citizens and visitors of the need to still take care of their own security. Throughout the city, posters of Low crime doesn’t mean no crime can be seen (Low crime does not mean that there is no crime at all).

There are few policemen on the streets of Singapore. But there are a lot of surveillance cameras.

Especially severely local Themis refers to drug dealers, they are entitled to the death penalty. Hanging also threatens especially serious crimes, including high treason and corruption.

8. Austria

This country is consistently among the top ten countries with the highest standard of living. And the fact that she is also among the top 10 safest countries in the world does not mean that no crimes are committed in Austria. Just their number is small. Murders in Austria are extremely rare (according to statistics - 0.9 cases per 100 thousand people).

In train stations and in areas where there are many tourists, pickpocketing often occurs, and bike thefts, a popular means of transportation in the country, are also frequent.

7. Estonia

A small Baltic country is considered peaceful and safe for tourists. According to Eurostat, there are 3 intentional killings per 100,000 Estonian people per year.

According to the chief of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Estonia, the essence of crime in the country is changing. From the real world, it is gradually moving into virtual space. For example, drug dealers offer their poison over the Internet, receiving payment for one of the popular cryptocurrencies.

However, street crimes in Estonia have not completely disappeared; most of them are committed under the influence of alcohol.

6. Georgia

Despite the fact that Georgia was in the top 10 countries with the lowest crime rate, the country's Ministry of Internal Affairs announced that the number of crimes in 2018 was 54% higher than in 2017. In total, over 58 thousand incidents occurred in the country over the year, and more than 20 thousand cases were solved.

The Georgian Interior Ministry explains the increased rates with an improvement in the methodology for counting crimes. Law enforcement authorities even register cases in which there are at least minimal signs of an offense.

5. Hong Kong

One of the largest financial centers in Asia and the world is famous for its security day and night. This is facilitated by the strictest punishment system, although there is no death penalty here.

There are virtually no armed robberies in Hong Kong, and the biggest problem is drug trafficking. The terrible triads that used to scare tourists traveling to Hong Kong act in the shade and do not affect the lives of ordinary people or tourists.

4. Taiwan

As in most countries with the lowest crime rates, violent crimes in Taiwan are extremely rare. Most offenses are caused by pickpockets and petty fraudsters.

However, Taiwanese police tightly control criminogenic areas, and tourists say that they feel completely safe in this country.

3. UAE

Despite the fact that in the UAE there are 8 migrants per native resident, this country is considered one of the safest in the world. Robberies, killings and robberies are extremely rare. This is explained both by the severity of laws (the death penalty is imposed for the murder of an indigenous resident, life imprisonment for the murder of a migrant), and the inevitability of punishment.

Each city in the UAE has a huge number of video cameras, the local police are equipped with the latest technology, and in the case of particularly complex cases, experts from Europe are involved for a lot of money.

The most common offenses in the country are pickpocketing, hacking and renting out cheap housing to foreigners, in which the tenant populates 10 people or more.

2. Japan

If you want to go to a country with a well-developed transport system, high technology and polite people, then it is better not to find a place in Japan.

In terms of serious crimes such as murder, rape and robbery, this country is on the last line in the list of OECD countries. About 70% of all crimes are theft. This does not prevent Japan from being one of the safest countries in the world to live in.

1. Qatar

In 2019, Qatar retained its title as the safest country in the world, according to the latest annual report released by Numbeo. He scored a total of 13.26 points in the Crime Index, which is the lowest result in 2019. For comparison: Venezuela has 83.23 points out of 100 possible, and the second place on the list is Papua New Guinea 79.88 points.

The representative of Qatar said that the excellent results of his country are explained by the constant efforts of the Ministry of the Interior to achieve maximum security and stability in society, protecting the lives and property of both citizens and tourists.

Qatar is the richest country in terms of GDP per capita and the hottest country in the world.

Currently, the Qatari Ministry of Internal Affairs is working on creating an integrated security system throughout the country, as well as raising public awareness of security issues.

Russia in terms of crime takes 66th place (41.93 points) from 118 countries. Ukraine - 41 line, and Belarus (the most prosperous in the criminal plan) - 103 position.
