Is Venezuela the world's most dangerous country? Its residents think so

Venezuelans perceived their country to be the most dangerous place on the planet in 2017 — worse than war-torn nations, failed states and global trouble spots.

In its annual 2018 Global Law and Order Index, Gallup found that Venezuelans distrusted their police, felt unsafe walking at night and had been robbed or assaulted at an alarming rate compared to the rest of the world.

The country had a law and order score of 44 in Gallup’s survey, putting it dead last among 140 nations — behind Afghanistan, South Sudan, Gabon, Liberia and South Africa. It was the second year in a row that Venezuela anchored the global list, as the once-wealthy nation faces broad economic, political and social collapse.

“law and order score of 44”

Have they run this analysis on cities? I’d like to see Chicago.

I’d also like to see what has to happen to get a 1.

No, El Salvador is, by far. Really, Latin America as a whole is just a gigantic cesspool.

One murder in Monserrat and it’s in the top 20—one fewer and it would be the safest place in the world. One less murder in El Salvador and it would still top the list.

I think Montserrat is getting a bum deal being ranked #18.

A count of 1.

It could have been one guy killing his old lady or visa versa(crime of passion).

Whenever I get into a discussion with a pro-socialist, I ask them where all the money is going to come from. “The rich” is invariably the answer. My next question is two part, 1) What if the rich decide they don’t want to give it to you and take their money and businesses to another country? And B) where are you going to get more money after you have taken all the money away from the rich and spent it all?
