3. Hong Kong

Crime rate variable: 16.57

Safety rate variable: 83.43

Unbelievably, the crime rate of Hong Kong is far lower than USA and Europe. So it is no wonder why it has achieved the reputation of being the third safest country in the world to live. Serious crimes are very rare here. Most of the places here are busy, much like 24/7. This can be a reason why residents and tourists constantly feel safer.

Hong Kong has a very low crime rate. In fact, it is hard to notice. This factor becomes a major reason to be one of the safest places to live (for both men and women). Moreover, the Hong Kong government encompasses high safety standards. Therefore, the travelers, expats and tourists feel safe. Since I have been here once, I would love to share you this. The people are very welcoming and police officers are polite, helpful and omnipresent. They regularly control restaurants, bars and buses. They often ask people to show their ID to make sure that everything is fine. So, it is recommended to have some kind of identification if you happen to visit Hong Kong (especially while enjoying nightlife). Low violence offence makes this nation a perfect place to settle down.

2. Taiwan

Crime rate variable: 16.26

Safety rate variable: 83.74

Taiwan is one of the best and safest places to live, as there are less violent crimes and robbery. People are more friendly, kind-hearted and welcoming. So, if you plan to live here, you don’t have to worry about it. Believe it or not, people of Taiwan are more honest.

It is the country where you can see people helping you before you approach. Many tourists reviewed that they never felt worried or scared in Taiwan. Moreover, it is the perfect place for women to reside. No more nerve-racking about what could particularly occur when a woman goes out late night. In this established country, every citizen feels very safe.

1. Japan – The Safest Country In The World

Crime rate variable: 13.11

Safety rate variable: 86.89

Topping this list of safest countries in the world is none other than “Japan”. The reason behind this is its rare crime activities. On the other hand, its culture becomes one of the main reasons honoring this country. I am sure you must have heard how well disciplined Japanese are and therefore, they will never involve in activities, which brings shame to their country.

Possession of firearms is strictly prohibited according to their laws. Firm gun control, strict laws and wealthy economy makes sure that the one living there is 100% safe. According to the 2010 GPI (Global Peace Index) framed by IEP (Institute for Economics and Peace) report, Japan has also been ranked as the 3rd peaceful country in the world. With homicides, terrorism and violent crimes highly unlikely in Japan, this place becomes extremely safe for one to reside.
