🛡️ Crime Index by Country — World Ranking

Score 0–100, higher = lower crime risk. Computed from official crime statistics (UNODC, national police data), weighted by homicide rate, theft, robbery and organized crime indicators. Missing values are compensated by weight re-normalization.

The Crime Index by Country answers the most common safety questions for travelers, expats and remote workers: Which countries have the lowest crime rate? How safe are Mexico, Brazil or South Africa really compared to the headlines? And where does petty crime like pickpocketing dominate versus violent crime? The ranking shows at a glance where personal safety is comparable to Northern European standards — Singapore, Japan and much of Western Europe top the list — and where situational awareness, guarded accommodation and specific neighborhood knowledge are essential. Each row links to the full country profile combining crime with health, climate and infrastructure risk.
