As South Africans, we often perceive our country as having high crime levels, especially compared to other countries. The
Numbeo.com Crime Index by City 2021 survey demonstrated this, where citizens ranked six South African cities as being among the global top 20 of the most dangerous cities. The respondents perceived the overall level of crime in three South African cities, namely Pretoria, Durban and Johannesburg, as being very high.
However, when it comes to vehicle theft, including hijackings, South Africa fares well compared to developed countries. Based on statistics aggregated by Australia s National Motor Vehicle Theft Reduction Council (NMVTRC) from in-country police and crime reports , at 109, South Africa has one of the lowest rates of vehicle theft per 100 000 population. New Zealand is at the top with a high current theft rate of 636 per 100 000 population.

Safely Home influenced our family! We adopted a precious baby from China in 2003. I felt we should adopt one more, but my husband was unsure; we had four birth children plus one adopted. While reading
Safely Home, God stirred in my husband s heart and he said YES to one more! They are now 17 and 14, and they both love the Lord! Thank you for writing your books for the Glory of God. A.S.
