I would expect Japan and Singapore to be the top 2 safest in the world.
The article is based on Gallup’s Law and Order Index, which uses four questions to gauge people’s sense of personal security and their personal experiences with crime and law enforcement.
1) In the city or area where you live, do you have confidence in the local police force?
2) Do you feel safe walking alone at night in the city or area where you live?
3) Within the last 12 months, have you had money or property stolen from you or another household member?
4) Within the past 12 months, have you been assaulted or mugged?

Uh! What happened to Singapore?
They were number 1 in 22 and didn’t even make the list in 23??
If that is the score, then Vietnam is tied for 2nd, not 7th due to alphabetical order.
I think I’ll pass on the “safest” Tajikistan...
From Wikipedia:
“The country has been led by President Emomali Rahmon since 1994, who rules an authoritarian regime. There is extensive corruption and widespread violations of human rights, including torture, arbitrary imprisonment, worsening political repression, and a lack of religious freedom and other civil liberties.[17][18]
Don’t see Taiwan on the list. Been there several times and feel safe all over.
