Numbeo, a well-known crowd-sourced platform, recently published its 2025 Crime Index ranking the most and least safe countries worldwide. The report highlights alarming safety concerns in several nations based on various crime statistics collected from residents. According to the index, certain countries face high rates of violent crime, theft, and civil unrest, making them less safe for residents and travelers alike.
The list identifies ten countries with the highest crime rates, exposing dangerous environments that require caution. These countries struggle with issues like armed robbery, homicide, and lack of effective law enforcement, contributing to their poor safety rankings. Factors such as political instability, economic challenges, and social unrest further exacerbate crime levels in these areas.
Numbeo’s data serves as a crucial resource for individuals planning travel or relocation, helping them make informed decisions by understanding safety risks. This early 2025 ranking draws attention to global safety challenges and emphasizes the need for increased security measures and community awareness in high-risk regions.
