civilians of Kenya ranks
their police force as the
most corrupt ones as they
take bribes and also
neglects the law and order
of the country.
b) Burma - Corruption level of the
police force of Burma is troubling the
citizens here. Corruption level of the

the civilians of the country in different
ways and for different reasons.
c) Iraq - The history of corruption
among the Iraqi police force goes

Safest Countries in
the World
learning objectives:
At the end of this discussion,
students should be able to:
Understand and know the
safest countries in the
world according to Global
Peace Index.
 The Global Peace Index ranks the safest
and most peaceful countries in the world. This
report is published annually by the Institute
for Economics and Peace, which defines itself
as "an independent, non-partisan, non-profit
organization dedicated to shifting the world's
focus to peace as a positive, achievable and
tangible measure of human wellbeing and
progress." The report researches countries to
determine which are the safest and which are
the most dangerous.
 GPI report ranks each country's
level of safety or danger based upon 23
different indicators. The indicators
used to compile the GPI include the
number of internal and external
violent conflicts, level of distrust,
political instability, potential for
terrorist acts, number of homicides,
and military expenditures as a
percentage of GDP.
 These indicators are grouped
into three broad categories:
Ongoing International Conflict,
Societal Safety and Security, and
Militarization, and a score is
calculated for each of the nations
featured in the report. The lower
the score, the higher the nation is
ranked in terms of safety.
 Top 20 Safest
Countries in the
World (2022 Global
Peace Index —
lower is better)
 1. Iceland — 1.107
2. New Zealand — 1.269
3. Ireland — 1.288
4. Denmark — 1.296
5. Austria — 1.300
6. Portugal — 1.301
7. Slovenia — 1.316
8. Czech Republic — 1.318
9. Singapore — 1.326
10. Japan — 1.336
11. Switzerland — 1.357
12. Canada — 1.389
13. Hungary — 1.411
14. Finland — 1.439
15. Croatia — 1.440

 The Safest
Continent in the World
A majority of the top 25 safest countries
are European countries. Most notable
are the Nordic countries of Europe.
Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Iceland, and
Finland are not only among Europe's
safest countries, they are among the top
25 safest countries anywhere on Earth.
As such, this region is considered the
safest in the world.
 1. Iceland
According to the Global Peace Index, Iceland
is the safest country in the world for the
14th year in a row. Iceland is a Nordic
nation with a relatively small population of
340,000. Iceland has a very low level of
crime, which is typically attributed to its
high standard of living, small population,
strong social attitudes against crime, a high
level of trust in their well-trained police
force, and a lack of tension between social
and economic classes.
 2. New Zealand
New Zealand is the second-safest country
in the world. Like Iceland, New Zealand has
a very low crime rate, and violent crime is
especially rare. Theft is still worth
guarding against, especially in tourist areas
(which holds true in every country in the
world) but overall risk is minimal. Unlike
its neighbor Australia, which is known for
its dangerous wildlife (box jellyfish, taipan
snakes, stonefish, funnel web spiders, and
more), New Zealand has no deadly animals.
 3. Ireland
Ireland became notably more peaceful
in 2021 and vaulted from 11th place to
3rd in the 2022 rankings as a result.
Crime is quite low outside of a few
city neighborhoods (and as in any
country, one should be wary of
pickpockets and scammers in tourist-
dense areas), and there is little threat
of cultural violence or terrorism.
 4. Denmark
Ranked fourth on the 2022 Global Peace
Index, Denmark is another of the safest
and happiest countries in the world.
Denmark is one of the few countries
where people report feeling safe at any
time of day or night, even children.
Denmark has a high level of equality and
a strong sense of common responsibility
for social welfare — two qualities that
contribute to its citizens' feelings of safety
and happiness.
 5. Austria
Austria ranked as the fifth-safest
country in the world for 2022. While
violent demonstrations in the wake of
ongoing social unrest remain a
concern, these are relatively easy to
avoid and otherwise, Austria is a very
safe country to visit. Serious crimes
are uncommon (with the usual caveat
to watch for pickpockets and purse-
snatchers).
 6. Portugal
Portugal comes in sixth in the most
peaceful countries rankings for 2022. In
2014, Portugal was ranked 18th globally
and has since made significant strides.
Unlike Iceland and New Zealand, Portugal
has armed police; however, an increased
police presence has resulted in a decreased
crime rate in the country. In recent years,
Portugal has experienced an economic
resurgence, decreasing its unemployment
rate from over 17% to under 7%.
 7. Slovenia
One of the former members of
Yugoslavia, Slovenia's high safety
ranking can be attributed to its excellent
scores in not one, but three separate
categories: travel security, medical risks,
and road safety. Like many Slavic states,
Slovenia installed a democratic
government in the mid-1990s and is now
focused upon improving quality of life in
many areas, including safety and
sustainability.
8. Czech Republic
Crime rates in the Czech Republic
have steadily decreased over the
years, with rates of violent crime
in particular dropping
significantly. The Czech Republic
also has a low incidence of
terrorism and natural disasters.
 9. Singapore
Singapore ranks ninth on the GPI for 2022.
In a Gallup report from 2018, Singapore
residents felt the highest sense of personal
security and had more positive experiences
with law enforcement than did residents of
any other country. Singapore has one of the
lowest crime rates in the world, possibly due
to the severe penalties that are issued for
even small crimes. The government and
police strictly control guns and other
firearms, and violent and confrontational
crimes are rare in Singapore.
 10. Japan
The tenth-safest country in the world for
2022 is Japan. Japan has been in the top
ten countries in the Global Peace Index
for 14 years, consistently receiving high
marks for low crime rates, minimal
internal conflict, and virtually
nonexistent political unrest. Japan's
proximity to potentially hostile
neighbors China and North Korea could
become a threat to its safety at some
point, but has not thus far.

 The Afghan police force has its origins in
the Hotak and Durrani empires in the early
18th century, and over the centuries it was
modernized to its current form. In the 1950s
a group of army officers were reassigned to
the police forces to develop a new cadre and
modernize the police organization.
In the early 1960s, five of the top police
students from the Kabul police academy
were sent to Munich Germany to get their
master's degrees in criminology and police
work.

 The British army assigned a captain to
the central administration for police
duties in 1898. He commanded 30 British
army officers and helped to organize
provincial police forces.
In 1901, the authorities decentralized
the police to improve efficiency. The
government assumed responsibility for
administrative control of the police in
1908, but provincial governors retained
operational control of the forces.
 In 1928 the British established the
Sudan Police Force (SPF) under the
Ministry of Interior. Throughout the
colonial period, the police lacked the
resources and manpower to deploy
officers throughout Sudan.
Instead, the government gave tribal
leaders authority to maintain order
among their people and to enlist a limited
number of “retainers” to help them in
law-enforcement duties.
