The riots in Paris appear to be easing following six days of heightened tensions, sparked by the fatal shooting of 17-year-old Nahel Merzouk by police last Tuesday morning.
With the issue of police brutality once again under the spotlight, the following chart by Statista's Anna Fleck looks at where confidence in police is highest and lowest around the world, based on indicators such as poor response times, heavy-handed arrests and the use of force in questionable circumstances.

But how does confidence in law enforcement in France compare to the rest of the world?
Gallup recently released its Law & Order Index, which is a composite score based on reported confidence in the police, feelings of personal security and incidences of theft or mugging in different countries over the past year. Gallup found that France had a score of 85 out of 100, putting it on the same confidence level as the Philippines, Hong Kong, Croatia and Slovakia as well as slightly above the global average of 71.
Singapore had the highest level of confidence in law and order in this edition of the index with a score of 96, followed by the autocratic nation of Tajikistan at 95. The lowest confidence levels were seen in Afghanistan, unsurprising considering ongoing violence in the country.
Gabon, Venezuela, the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Sierra Leone also found themselves at the bottom of the law and order confidence rankings.
China was not included in the 122 countries in the report. In 2019, it had received the third best result with 94 out of 100.
I guessed Norway and Sweden - they’re in the top five. Singapore makes a lot of sense - they’ll cane you for littering
Fear is a powerful motivator.
Witness the scamdemic BS.
So a street thug gets ventilated, or whatever - that’s bad.
It does not follow that burning down a museum and robbing the Apple Store makes any sense. “Heightened tensions” indeed.
Like gun violence, if we excluded blacks, and liberal metropolitan sewers (again, ChiCongo, New York, etc), then it's an entirely different result.
In rural areas of Norway and Sweden....you might only see a police-car once a month.
Big country, indeed.
At the Coeur d’Alene, ID July 4 parade yesterday, the military, police, search & rescue, sheriff’s office and first responders got the biggest applause. Everybody stood up for their units and applauded loudly. Confidence in these great people is very high. This is a peaceful area.
Wow, Norway ranks 3rd ?
What a load of croc.
Remember the Otoya shooting in 2011.
A gunman goes over to an island with about 600 kids , at a camp. He starts shooting kids and roams around for an hour.
The Norwegian cops responded by swiftly blocking the road to the marina so that no boats could respond to the island.
They bravely waited while a SWAT team slowly assembled.
The Team arrived and all boarded a boat, which broke down or ran out of fuel so that they waited for another boat.
As NEWS helicopters flew around the isle, no one thought of
commandeering one and quickly flying over to the scene.
Afterwards I heard the Police Chief stating that all Officers acted properly. I also found that Police in Norway
had to have sidearms in their vehicles locked away and the ammunition stored separately.
Norway might have less crime or less shootings IDK, but
I wouldn’t rate their Police in the top 1000.
