25 Most Dangerous Countries in the World
The world has its fair share of everything. Some parts of it are peaceful, experience low crime and violence while other parts of it are riddled with crime, terrorism, instability and violence.
Overall, North America and Europe are relatively the most stable and low crime regions in the world. Most of it is as a result of very strong and stable political and legal institutions, social harmony as well as economic opportunities and welfare. Speaking of North America in particular, Canada is 3 times safer than the US according to the World Population Review.
On the other hand, Africa, the Middle East and Latin America are relatively the more volatile regions with various social and political problems. There are a number of reasons why some parts of the world are more dangerous than others. In some countries, crime rate is a structural problem and failure of law and order. In others, there are dangers for entirely different reasons like civil wars and political instability. However, in most cases, you’d find both crime and political instability in the same place. According to a UN report, crime and instability have been shown to be inter-linked.
