Top 5 Countries with Lowest Crime Rates

4. Norway

Crime Index Score: 2.26

Norway is one of the safest countries in the world with less than 280,000 crimes reported in 2021, and only 29 of them being cases of homicide. This low rate of crime is partly due to strong crime prevention mechanisms, and partly due to the cold, long winters in the country. Norway also has strict regulations in place to restrict gun violence.
