India Is Ranked 60th Out Of 120 Countries, With Singapore Being Considered The World’s Safest Country And Afghanistan Being The Least Secure

In order to compile this list, approximately 127,000 people were interviewed across more than 120 countries for the Gallup study, which employs four questions to gauge people’s sense of personal security and their personal experiences with crime and law enforcement.

On October 27, a worldwide analytics business released a report that listed the safest and least safe countries in the world. According to the Gallup-published Law and Order Index 2022, East Asia is the world’s most safe region.

India was placed 60th, below Pakistan, which was ranked 48th, but above the United Kingdom and Bangladesh. On a scale of 1 to 100, India received an index score of 80, whereas Pakistan received an 82, with a higher number suggesting that more people in a nation feel secure. With an 80, Sri Lanka tied with India but was ranked just ahead of it.

Afghanistan, where the Taliban have seized power, is rated as the least secure country in the world for the third consecutive year.

The survey report assessed Singapore as the most secure country, giving it a score of 96.

Over 127,000 people in more than 120 countries on the list were interviewed for the Gallup study, which utilizes four questions to gauge people’s sense of personal security and their personal experiences with crime and law enforcement.

The top five nations on Gallup’s security index

• Singapore 96
• Tajikistan 95
• Norway 93
• Switzerland 92
• Indonesia 92

Due to a decrease in violence after the Taliban’s uprising came to an end after it had successfully seized control from US troops, Afghanistan, had the lowest score in both of the surveys that were conducted in 2018 and 2019 (the survey was not conducted in 2020 due to the pandemic), slightly improved its score. According to the report, high-profile police shootings like the one that killed George Floyd and sparked a movement against racial injustice are mostly to blame for the fall in public faith in law enforcement in North America and Western Europe.

The five nations with the worst security according to Gallup

• Sierra Leone 59
• DR Congo 58
• Venezuela 55
• Gabon 54
• Afghanistan 51

According to the statistics, Southeast Asia experienced the largest increases in trust, with Singapore and Indonesia contributing the most points.

Unsurprisingly, replies to questions about public confidence in local police in nations like the United States, Canada, and Western Europe—which have witnessed numerous rallies against the police and government—showed a declining trend.
