The Rating of Safe Countries in 2024
The Global Peace Index 2024 shows how safe residents and visitors feel in various countries around the world. The index considers overall levels of crime, perceptions of safety during daytime and nighttime strolls, concerns about robberies, car thefts, physical violence, and discrimination. The rating is based on data from the past 36 months, ensuring its relevance and accuracy. It takes into account not only internal but also external factors: a country's international relations, military expenditures, involvement in conflicts and combat operations, and other parameters.
The importance of this rating lies in its ability to provide a comparative analysis of safety levels in different countries and cities. While the data are based on user perceptions and may differ from official statistics, the Numbeo Safety Index serves as a valuable tool for assessing relative crime levels. It helps people make informed decisions about travel, living arrangements, and investments by providing crucial information about the crime situation in various places around the globe.
